The Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden has announced that β€œYoshitomo Nara: Sentinels of Stillness” (Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026–Saturday, Nov. 7, 2027) will inaugurate its West Lawn when its revitalized sculpture garden reopens this fall. The exhibition of three new monumental artworks emphasizes the interplay between the artist’s life experience and sculpture’s premodern foundation: hand-building with clay. β€œSentinels of Stillness” introduces three recent sculptures: β€œLong Tall Peace Sister” (2025), β€œSmiling” (2025) and β€œTiny Bright Round Eyes” (2025), each a sculptural enlargement of a small clay head created in 2021. Fabricated in aluminum and coated in white urethane paint, the three towering heads evoke the snowdrifts that the artist recalls from his childhood winters. On closer inspection, the trio reveals Nara’s thoughtful attention to material and the play of light on its surface. The forms invite curiosity, contemplation and rest; they are emblematic of the artist’s intention to forward a spirit of peace.

It coincides with the Yoshimoto Nara Exhibit at David Zwirner in New York City October 29-December 12.

Deets: DC’s favorite summer concert series returns to the National Gallery of Art this summer with Jazz in the Garden: American Sounds. This season highlights both rising voices and celebrated performers whose work reflects the evolving landscape of American music. Kicking off May 22, the series spotlights artists from across the country performing across genres including indie soul-funk, alternative bluegrass, salsa, jazz, rhythm & blues, blues, Americana, and brass band music.

For over 20 years, Jazz in the Garden has transformed the Sculpture Garden into a vibrant outdoor stage, creating the opportunity for visitors to gather, enjoy refreshments, and experience live music surrounded by world-class works of art. This year, join us for fun, informal dance lessons before and during the concert on select dates.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Admission is free. Due to the popularity of Jazz in the Garden, and to give everyone an equal chance of attending, the Museum will again offer registration through a lottery system. The lottery will take place the week before each event. It will open on Monday at 10AM and close Friday at 12PM. All lottery entrants will be notified whether or not they were selected the Monday before each program via email. If selected, you are welcome to register for up to 4 passes. Registration is required for ages 2 and above. In addition to the passes distributed through our lottery, limited passes will be available at all entrance gatesβ€”first-come, first-servedβ€”starting at 5PM
