DCGreeks.com, in association with local and national Hellenic organizations, invites Greek-American young adults from across the country to our Nation's Capital this November for the 5th edition of the one of the most diverse and inclusive Greek events on the calendar!
Pan-Hellenism Weekend 2013 will provide Greek-American and Philhellene young adults 18 and over with an affordable, fun, classy, and quality event which allows attendees from DC and over two dozen different states the opportunity to network in a relaxed and welcoming environment without the burden of meetings and agendas that so often detract young adults from attending other more established Greek conventions.
Highlights of the weekend include Thursday and Saturday Happy Hours, Friday and Sunday Night Greek Nights, and Saturday Late Night Bouzoukia!

Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections Group Tour at the National Gallery of Art
Join fellow Pan-Hellenism Weekend 2013 attendees as we take a group tour of a Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections, a limited-time exhibition at the National Gallery of Art. In the first-ever exhibition of Byzantine art at the Gallery, some 170 works of art, many never before lent to the United States, will be on view—among them mosaics, icons, manuscripts, jewelry, and ceramics. The works include newly discovered and unpublished objects and reveal the rich and multifaceted culture of Byzantium. Divided into five thematic sections, the exhibition explores the coexistence of paganism and Christianity, spiritual life in Byzantium, secular works of art used in the home, the intellectual life of Byzantine scholars, and the cross-influences that occurred between Byzantine and Western artists before the fall of Byzantium.
With the lifting of the government shutdown, this exhibit just opened on October 17th and will only be available through March 2, 2014 before moving on to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles in April, so don't miss out on this truly unique experience!
If you can't make the group tour on Saturday, we invite you to visit it on Sunday at 2:00 PM for another tour with fellow PHW attendees staying through Monday.
