It’s interesting that you’re listing art activities on Inauguration Day without mentioning the national art strike that hundreds of artists, curators, critics, and institutions have called for. Maybe it’s more appropriate to say “don’t go see some art on Inauguration Day.” There’s better stuff going on.
