The Buzz -- On any given Friday, Dupont Circle is the epicenter of DC's nightlife scene. But on the first Friday of each month, area art galleries up the ante and vie for the attention of passersby as they open their doors to the public. The art set is out in full force, from collectors and aficionados to the artists themselves. Offering up free snacks and wine, the galleries leave their doors open late to attract locals and tourists alike.
