Come to the main entrance to the Walter E Washington Convention Center at 801 Mount Vernon Place, NW to pick up a map of public art in the neighborhood, and three art galleries that will be open to visitors: the DC Art Gallery at the Historical Society of Washington, DC, Long View Gallery, and Cre8 Space Studio Gallery. Be sure to take the one-hour tours of the convention center's multimillion dollar art collection, being offered at 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM (space is limited, so be sure to sign up when you arrive).

And while you stroll through the neighborhood enjoying great art, be sure to patronize the neighborhood businesses that will also be listed on the map. DC Main Streets First Saturday events are sponsored by DC Main Streets, the Department of Small and Local Business Development, and the Historical Society of Washington, DC.
