Family Day @ ARTECHOUSE DC
From 10AM to 5PM, ARTECHOUSE DC transforms into an underwater adventure zone, inviting ocean lovers of all ages to dive into a day filled with special activities and exclusive tours.
At 1PM and again at 3PM, we’re honored to host Dr. Dana Yoerger, a Senior Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and a pioneer in marine robotics.
Dr. Yoerger’s current research focuses on Mesobot, a cutting-edge underwater robot designed to explore the midwater regions of the ocean. Mesobot’s mission is to track creatures like zooplankton, which play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet Dr. Yoerger and take a behind-the-scenes tour of our ocean-inspired exhibition.
Throughout the day, guests can participate in an XR scavenger hunt, accessible through the ARTECHOUSE app, allowing you to explore the exhibit in a whole new interactive way. Other fun activities include coloring stations and the chance to collect cool underwater stickers. Be sure to stop by the gift shop for exclusive merchandise deals and specials available only to Family Day attendees.
Family-friendly pricing makes this day even more accessible! Children under 3 are admitted for free, children under 15 for just $16, and groups of 4-9 receiving an automatic 10% discount when booking tickets online.

Book Reading with Michelle Cusolito
On November 3rd, at 1PM, join us for an engaging book reading with Michelle Cusolito, an award-winning author and science writer. Michelle will be sharing stories from her latest work, A Window Into the Ocean Twilight Zone: Twenty-Four Days of Science at Sea. Her book takes readers on an eye-opening journey to the North Atlantic, where she spent three weeks with scientists from WHOI and international partners studying the mysterious ocean twilight zone.
During this event, Michelle will offer behind-the-scenes insights into how ocean research is conducted and share her personal experiences at sea. It’s a unique opportunity to learn about the fascinating process of scientific exploration and the creation of her book. Copies of A Window Into the Ocean Twilight Zone will be available for purchase, and Michelle will be signing books after the reading.
Once again, family pricing is available, with free admission for children under 3, discounted tickets for those under 15, and special group rates for families and friends.
Whether you’re looking to explore the wonders of the deep ocean with your family or get inspired by a behind-the-scenes look at marine science, these two events at ARTECHOUSE DC offer something for everyone. Don’t miss out on these opportunities to dive into the magic of the ocean with us this fall!
By joining forces between ARTECHOUSE Studio and The Capitals, we’re giving fans a unique way to engage with their team.
Throughout the month of October, guests who arrive wearing Capitals merch will receive $5 off their ticket and $5 off their first drink at the bar! Offer valid on-site only.

What do you think is the largest animal migration in the world? Wildebeests? Humpback whales? Maybe Monarch Butterflies?
In fact, the largest animal migration in the world happens once a day, and features billions of creatures leading one of the most globally-impactful cycles for our earth. The heroes of this movement, which is called the Diel Vertical Migration (DVM), are Zooplankton — small fish, shrimp, jellies, and other minuscule creatures who might seem more at home in space than in our ocean. They travel up to 1000m from the ocean twilight zone up to the surface to eat, and then head back down again, repeating this journey every single day.
Diel comes from Latin for “day”, signifying the 24-hour cycle of this migration. (And vertical comes from “vertical” which means vertical).
But the real impact of this gargantuan-yet-unsung movement is that its daily feasting leads to one of the world’s largest sources of carbon management. The ocean’s “Carbon Pump,” as it’s referred to, includes many mechanisms of the consumption of a massive amount of carbon-laden particles from the surface called “marine snow,” ultimately resulting in 4 to 12 gigatons of carbon being removed from earth’s surface. To put that into perspective, just four gigatons is equal in mass to over 250,000 Washington Monuments!
The billions of creatures that make up this migration have all adapted and developed to their unique environment — traveling from the cold darkness, up to the surface and back — these adaptations may seem strange or surprising in isolation, but they play a critical role in our global ecosystem. These unassuming organisms show us that weird is wonderful.
Our knowledge of this enigmatic part of the ocean is largely due to the work of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the world’s leading independent non-profit organization dedicated to ocean research, exploration and education. Inspired by their amazing work as leaders in their field, we began exploring a partnership to transform their incredible scientific findings into an artistic experience.
Born of this collaboration is Twilight Zone: Hidden Wonders of the Ocean. Premiering on September 14, 2024 at ARTECHOUSE DC, this is the latest creation from ARTECHOUSE Studio and a major scientific organization.
Twilight Zone centers on a stunning 24-minute cinematic experience, which captures a Diel Vertical Migration. This audio-visual journey, filled with vibrant colors and mesmerizing bioluminescence, offers a glimpse into the lives of the creatures that inhabit this twilight world. From the sunlit surface of the sea to dark depths, the experience captures the beauty and complexity of the ocean’s mid-layer, where billions of organisms — from microscopic phytoplankton to majestic apex predators — play a crucial role in maintaining our planet’s health.
The exhibition features auxiliary installations that delve deeper into the ocean twilight zone’s curiosities like the surprising biodiversity of the ocean twilight zone revealed through acoustic data, environmental DNA, and bioluminescence and the Mesobot, a robot that tracks and observes deep-sea life.
By combining ARTECHOUSE’s expertise in experiential and art with WHOI’s pioneering oceanographic research, the exhibition offers a unique blend of science and art. Together, they bring the mysterious depths of the ocean twilight zone to life, providing visitors with an unprecedented opportunity to explore and appreciate one of Earth’s most enigmatic and crucial ecosystems.
Remember to stay weird.
