Our Art Gallery...

 

As a focal point, a series of exclamation points, or a quiet whisper of beauty, original art adds depth and dimension to any home.  The Gallery currently represents over 60 artists in its three locations, St. Michaels, MD, National Harbor, Md (opening August, 2010) and Bethesda Row in downtown, Bethesda MD (Opening September, 2010).  Bethesda Md is the largest art marketplace in the state of Maryland.

 

We represent juried and emerging artists locally, nationally, and internationally in a wide range of art forms—painting, sculpture, photography, woodturning, glass blowing, ceramics, weaving, and quilting.  

 

We believe in the wisdom that “art allows one soul to speak to another,” and we are confident that one of the artisans represented in our gallery will speak to you.

 

Learn more about and meet our artists during our monthly exhibitions. Check our calendar for upcoming exhibitions of new work. 

If you’re an artist, find out how to submit your work for consideration.
