12:00 Children's Photo Workshop at the National Zoo

Come learn how to take pictures at the National Zoo!

12:00 -2:00 PM at the entrance to the Zoo (3001 Connecticut Ave.)

Join  us at the National Zoo for a special children’s  photography workshop and photowalk to kick off the Art All Night celebration. Participants will be able to submit their photos to be  reviewed by three amazing judges who will award "Best of Show" to four participants:


  • Joe Newman - founder of the Focus on the Story International Photo Festival,
  • Dario Zucchi - photographer whose work is on display at  the Stanford Gallery, and 
  • Alan Kotok - of the National Press Club's  Photography Committee.


The  workshop and photowalk will take place from 12 to 2 p.m. and is open to children between the ages of six and twelve, accompanied by a parent. The event  is free thanks to the support of Woodley Park Main Street but spaces are  limited. Please RSVP here.  The event starts on Connecticut Avenue, in front of the Zoo, where  participants will get basic photography pointers from Joe Newman. After  the short talk, children and parents will explore the zoo taking photos  either on their own or in a guided walk.


All  photography skill levels are welcome. Children should bring their own  digital camera, which can include iphones or tablets. Participants will  receive instructions on how to submit their photos for the competition.

12:00 - 8:00 Woodley's Galleries

Stanford Gallery (2655 CONNECTICUT AVENUE)

The Unexpected Smile, 2022: Selected Photographs of Dario Zucchi

Dovetailing perfectly with the kids photo workshop at the Zoo, Dario's Zucchi's photographs are on display at the Stanford Galley. His images allow us to revel in what makes an afternoon  in a gallery distinctive, the intertwining of art and viewer. Zucchi  may appear to be a surreptitious observer, but he is only seemingly  hidden from view.  


Through his playful imagination and patient  surveillance, he manages to capture visitors reflecting the colors,  textures and, even more astoundingly, the esprit of the works that  engage them.  Zucchi does so with the observational powers of an  anthropologist, the eye of an artist, and the wit of a world-class  humorist.  His admiration for the artist and appreciation of the viewer  are charmingly on display in each of these photographs.


We are delighted to highlight Zucchi’s genius and bring smiles  to the faces of all who encounter these engaging photographs.

Africa World Art Gallery (2311 Calvert Street)

Africa World Art Gallery is here to bring to you the diverse,  rich, supple, creative, cultural and beautiful arts and crafts from  Africa and of African descent. We hope to bring you paintings,  sculptures, carvings, textile and fashion materials, as well as other  artifacts that represent the Africa peoples and cultures. While having  particular interests in African art, but without limiting our capacity,  we will also have different works of artists from different parts of the  world.


With about 54 countries, and with an estimated 3000  indigenous tribes, Africa poses to be a vibrant and colorful continent  with ever growing population of people who embrace cultural values and  diversity. 

African artworks do not just tell stories, they bring you  into the scene.


We will feature talented known and upcoming  artists who let you into the scene of old and modern era life and  scenery of the people, places and things through their creations.
