Since its founding in 1967, the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum has been powered by the people and stories of the Washington, D.C. region. In celebration of the Museum’s 55th anniversary, ACM has asked residents of the D.C. region to submit portraits of themselves as the Museum looks to its next 55 years and beyond! ‘Portraits by the People’ continues the museum’s tradition of preserving and celebrating the local stories which make up our diverse neighborhoods.
It is also the last weekend to see ACM's award-winning exhibit: “Food for the People: Eating Activism in Greater Washington.” Take a deep dive into the food issues of the nation’s capital—past and present—with this outdoor and indoor exhibition featuring artifacts, art installations, videos, and hands-on interactives.
