Thought you'd heard it all? Read about the new National Harbor opening this side of the Potomac in Prince George's County, a short drive from downtown DC. - ART, retail, dining, glitz! Washington Glass School and Art Whino are a few galleries that will be opening spaces there. Artworks that are installed in National Harbor include sculptures by Albert Paley, who made "Portal Gates" for the Renwick Gallery in 1974 and J. Seward Johnson Jr.'s giant, the Awakening which was moved from Hain's Point to the promenade at National Harbor.

"At National Harbor art wasn't an afterthought. We had art before we had buildings." "The mainstay of this whole project is art." says Milt Peterson.
