Inspiring, trailblazing women gaze down from the walls at the National Portrait Gallery, and a number of them are highlighted during the museum’s Women’s History Month Festival in the Kogod Courtyard. Join a Ruth Bader Ginsburg portrait workshop led by Debbie Levy, author of “I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark”; see the “Recent Acquisitions” exhibition, including portraits of Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé; watch performances and workshops from the Washington Ballet; go on scavenger hunts through the galleries; or bring little ones for story time and art activities. Opal Lee, who led the fight to make Juneteenth a national holiday, is celebrated with an oil painting in “Recent Acquisitions,” and she’ll discuss the painting and her life in the McEvoy Auditorium beginning at 3:30 p.m. 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Free.
