It was a busy news week in Arlington, and next week — with County Board meetings on tap today and Tuesday — should stay busy.
For those who have been enjoying the summer-like weather recently, meanwhile, bad news: it’s not going to last. Expect fall to arrive this afternoon.
If you have outdoor plans in the DC area Saturday afternoon between 1 and 5p, be prepared for gusty downpours, maybe some thunder. Should not last too long but could be disruptive.

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.
