A poet’s lens
The gang’s all here: Virile Jack Kerouac, addle-brained William S. Burroughs, and an old and dodgy-looking Herbert Huncke. “Beat Memories: The Photographs of Allen Ginsberg” is a celebrity show filled with famous names seen both in their youth and in old age (if they were lucky enough to make it to old age). It’s also a survey of Ginsberg’s considerable skills as a photographer. //
Through Sept. 6. National Gallery of Art, Fourth Street and Constitution Avenue NW. 202-737-4215.

For updates — as well as hundreds of other
Downtown Bethesda is transformed into a children’s wonderland Saturday for this annual event. The options for hands- on activities are seemingly endless: Kids can draw with pastels, make a bookmark, experiment with sand art painting, create a puppet and plant a seed in a pot they decorate themselves. Face painters, stilt walkers and clowns will be among the crowds, while entertainers
— including
kids’ favorite
Rocknoceros —
take the stage. And for the more sophisticated tykes, Mrs. B will be on hand hosting an imaginary tea party and delivering a tutorial on
manners. // 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. Elm Street and Woodmont Avenue, Bethesda. 301- 215-6660. www.
bethesda.org.
