If you’re sticking around town for Thanksgiving this year, you might want to dig out that winter parka.
The forecast is calling for some absolutely frigid temperatures for Turkey Day and Black Friday alike, so be sure to bundle up if you’re planning to swing by a turkey trot or do some holiday shopping.
If you have any extra food to help hungry families for the holiday, the Arlington Fire Department is collecting:
. @AFACfeeds 18 distribution sites in @ArlingtonVA include affordable housing communities & senior living facilities. We dropped off over 200 lbs of food yesterday. Thank you for your generosity so far. Help us collect even more before Christmas. Info: https://t.co/N053QpE0Ak pic.twitter.com/6gSBivr2ql

Have you noticed a striking sculpture at Monroe Street and Wilson Boulevard? It’s the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington’s newest installation, Make Your Mark, by Arlington artist, Adam Henry. This sculpture celebrates MoCA Arlington’s rebranding and brings the museum’s energy outdoors.
On February 11, come inside when the museum’s galleries reopen with two new exhibitions: Rebecca Rivas Rogers: Grey View and Crisis of Image.
Grey View, in the Wyatt Resident Artist Gallery, is an homage to “gray” and a snapshot of the artist’s process. Consisting of photographs, collage, and a site-specific installation, this show is an outgrowth of Rivas-Rogers’ visual investigations into places you see on your way to somewhere else.
On the main level, Crisis of Image features artists who seek equity in today’s saturated visual world by developing new methods related to the production of images.
