National Portrait Gallery to Kick Off PILBOLUS AND PORTRAITURE Event, 5/22

Don't forget about Pilbolus and Portraiture, the kick-off event of the America Now series, happening this Friday from 7 to 10 p.m.

Modern dance company Pilobolus will fill the Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard with movement, music and performance while artist Bo Gehring projects video portraits of the troupe on large screens at this special Friday-before-Memorial-Day event. Join Pilobolus to create the perfect pose for your own video portrait by Gehring from 7 to 8:30, then watch the troupe perform starting at 8:30. The first floor galleries, as well as the new special exhibition Eye Pop, will be open. And be sure to grab a bite at the café and pick up a memento at the museums' store while you are here.
