Granted, the Oscars are in full swing as I write this and there are plenty of red carpet events going on tonight. I’m sorry to have personally missed the annual Oscar Night DC (R) benefiting the Red Cross of the National Capital Area, an event which I was involved with for 3 years, since it’s inception.
Thanks to everyone who came out to last Thursday evening’s Countdown to the Oscars atFitness Togetherbenefiting the American Red Cross Haitian Earthquake Relief Fund. Close to 300 people made it by over the course of three hours to enjoy tastes by Mie N Yu, Cafe Milano, Sweetgreen, and libations from Moet & Chandon, Paradise Springs Winery, Anheuser Busch Select 55, Bacardi 42 Below, Muscle Milk, Honest Beverages film screenings in the courtyard and swag bags. There are more details in the nice article Emily Miller wrote in The Georgetown Dish and the DC Hotspots video below. Thanks to Washington Life, Atlantic Valet and all of the sponsors and you for donating thousands to the cause.

If you want to see an outstanding art exhibit, look no further than the National Gallery of Art’s Chester Dale Collection which is here through the end of July 2011. So, yes, no hurry, but yes, hurry. I was fortunate to be a guest at the National Gallery’s patron circle event Wednesday evening and couldn’t wait to tell everyone about the exhibit. I know of some folks who have gone back to see it numerous times. It’s hard to get enough of this one of a kind collection that Mr. Dale (a banker who earned a lot of $$) purchased for “a song”. He was brilliant enough to know timing in his own industry and that translated over to the arts world.
Upon his death Mr. Dale bequeathed the amassed (more than 300) works of art to the National Gallery. From American to French – impressionism to modernism – you will no doubt truly enjoy this multiple rooms of paintings. The exhibition includes the famous “A Girl with a Watering Can” by Renoir, “The Boating Party” by Mary Cassatt, plenty of Degas, Cezanne, and Monet.
