With the growth of the CHS Calendar, we’re transitioning On the List from a (trying to be!) comprehensive rundown of the weekend’s happenings to more of a highlighting of the biggest, most interesting events. It makes more sense for the vibrant, community-updated CHS Calendar to take a bigger role in keeping CHS readers informed about what is going on.

• You can view the calendar in all of its posterboard glory
• Or list mode
• Or, heck, as a calendar

And definitely let us know about your Capitol Hill-related event  — or something you hear about that others need to know about — by adding it. Have a great weekend!

CAPITOL HILL WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS

  • Glitch/White Noise by Cait Willis at Ghost Gallery:.”The investigation deepens into the smart media gadgets of our time and their collective random glitches, or technical seizures if you will.”
  • Story Tell Her by Kimberly Trowbridge at Blindfold Gallery. A narrative installation begins with a large, constructed altarpiece followed by paintings and sculptures to build a physical language..
  • The last art show at Bauhaus (in it’s current location anyway) features popular artist Robbie Riley. Marvel at the brazenness of paintings hung in front of bookshelves.
