See

Before she became one of the most important abstract artists of the late 20th century, Moira Dryer was a set designer for an avant-garde theater company. This background is evident in the 26 works showcased at The Phillips Collection this winter; in Moira Dryer: Back in Business, visitors will see paintings and sculptures as both real and represented spaces. Dryer was only 35 when she died in 1992, leaving a trove of warm and richly textured pieces that will tease smiles from winter eyes. Feb. 8-April 19, 1600 21st St. NW

Relax

New at the Conrad Washington DC this winter: the terrace-level après-ski experience with fire pits and cozy blankets. Guests will find hot-buttered rum and so-called haute toddies. Bites include charcuterie boards, duck prosciutto and fireside s’mores with chocolate ganache. Groups may opt for the fireside port experience—a tableside decanting of ’94 vintage Fonseca in a traditional glass-breaking ritual. 950 New York Ave. NW
