If you've vowed to be craftier this year, why not create some accountability? Every weekend, Shop Made in DC makes space for crafters of all kinds to set up shop at its two locations (Saturdays sessions happen at Union Market store, Sundays in Georgetown). Bring whatever project you’re working on, or sit at the community table stocked with art supplies and let your mind wander.

A joint collaboration between the National Portrait Gallery and the American Archives of Art, “Felix Gonzalez-Torres: Always to Return” is an extensive exploration of the trailblazing portraitist’s work. Gonzalez-Torres uses various objects and methods—in one case, piles of colorfully wrapped candies—to explore identity and place. The exhibition, which is free and doesn't require a reservation in advance, also includes installations in Downtown D.C. to emphasize the boundlessness of Gonzalez-Torres’ work.
