Mother’s Day Doors of Bliss

The Doors of Bliss in Dumbarton Oaks Park are an opportunity to experience the park at the height of its spring glory while enjoying a talk by artist in residence William Adair. His gilded copper doors will be on show in the park from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm. The work is a series of doors “exploring the Goddess Mnemosyne, and her offspring the muses who brought  Art, Music, Dance and Poetry to humanity”. The Doors of Bliss are also inspired by a garden element in the formal gardens of Dumbarton Oaks. Please join us for an afternoon of discovery and Mother’s Day fun!

Once Upon a Tree booklets illustrated and authored by William Adair will be available for children to engage in the exploration and discovery of this wonderful wild garden and greater Rock Creek Park.
