ARTS GROUPS TEAM UP ON SCULPTURE EXHIBITION: The McLean Project for the Arts (MPA) and Washington Sculpture Group are collaborating on the upcoming “Sculpture NOW 2024” exhibition, to be held Sept. 12 to Oct. 26 at MPA, located inside the McLean Community Center at 1234 Ingleside Ave. in McLean.
The exhibition includes pieces completed over the past two years by more than 60 members of the Washington Sculptors Group working in a wide array of media and approaches. MPA curator and artistic director Nancy Sausser, who curated the exhibition, describes it as “a wonderful collection of strong, inventive and well-crafted work that is both wildly eclectic and thought-provoking.”
More information, including a list of exhibitors and the dates of special events, can be found at www.mpaart.org. The exhibition was made possible by the support of the Rotary Club of McLean.
MCC HOSTING COMMUNITY PARKING-LOT SALE: The McLean Community Center’s annual fall community parking-lot sale will be held on Sunday, Sept. 14 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the center’s parking lot, 1234 Ingleside Ave.
“Shoppers will find fabulous bargains offered by 50 vendors, including household items, electronics, clothing, music, books, children’s items and collectibles,” center officials said.
In Kids’ Row, youth ages 5 to 15 will sell their gently used treasures, and there will be music and refreshments.
Admission is free. For information, see the Website at www.mcleancenter.org.
‘KOO KOO’ COMING TO OLD FIREHOUSE CENTER: Described as a cross between the Beastie Boys and “Sesame Street,” Koo Koo will perform on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Old Firehouse Center, 1440 Chain Bridge Road and McLean.
“Koo Koo is a dance party for the senses,” McLean Community Center officials said. “With an emphasis on crowd participation and building a raucous, hyper-active atmosphere, a Koo Koo show must be seen to be believed.”
Though meant to be enjoyed as a dance party, there also will be (very limited) seating available.
Tickets are $10 for McLean residents, $12-$15 for others. For information, see the Website at www.mcleancenter.org.
