It is easy being Green

Green: the Color and the Cause is the second exhibit in The Textile Museum's year-long exploration of the ties between textiles and environmentalism, following on "Second Lives: The Age-Old Art of Recycling Textiles" (which is still on display until July). The new exhibit explores the symbolism behind the color green, showcasing the work of contemporary green artists as well as historical precedents from the museum's collection. The museum will even have a "growing garden sculpture" installed this month. On display through Sept. 11. The Textile Museum, 2320 S St. NW. Suggested donation is $5.
