About Artists in Action
Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center is pleased to announce the return of Artists in Action! In April and May, Annmarie’s Main Gallery will be transformed into temporary artist studios, providing a serene retreat and workspace for artists to create. The 30-acre park, patios, and pavilions will also host plein air painters and outdoor installation artists.
Interested in Applying?
Artists in Action provides visiting artists the opportunity to develop new artwork, network with other artists, display and sell their existing work in a gallery exhibit, and share their creative process with visitors. Through this program, artists are allowed to work in free studio space in a beautiful setting. The sculpture park provides numerous locations for artists to work and find inspiration. Outdoor artists can select days and times that fit their schedule and adjust as the weather dictates. Artists may work on any project they wish using our park as their workspace. The goal of the program is to provide artists with a safe opportunity to create and sell art while sharing the creative process with the public - at a distance. Outdoor artists may move their space freely day to day, utilizing covered areas, patios, forests, paths, etc. Artists are welcome to bring a small tent or patio umbrella for shade/ weather protection.
2026 Schedule To Be Announced...

17th Annual Fairies in the Garden Outdoor Exhibit
April 3 - September 7, 2026
*Special note about the display of the houses: it takes our garden gnomes just over a week to place all the creations out in the garden, so if you visit between April 3-10, you will find some around the Arts Buiding and some in the woods.
Come explore this charming outdoor exhibit of more than 100 handmade houses scattered throughout the trails and woods of the garden. Made by wonderfully creative artists from the community (and beyond), this exhibit features works in all media.
Annmarie After Hours Opening Reception - Friday, April 3, 5-7pm
Join us for an outdoor family-friendly opening of our most magicalicious exhibit. All the houses will be displayed around the outside of the Arts Building. This is a great opportunity to see them all before they are scattered throughout the sculpture garden! Reservations are not required, just come. There will be a food truck, cash bar, and live music. Admission: free for members; $5 for adults, $3 for kids, free for age 2 & under.

Art Blooms is a three-day exhibit featuring the work of more than 25 floral designers from across the region. Each floral designer is assigned a work of art in the Main Gallery or the Kay Daugherty Gallery and asked to create an arrangement inspired by that work of art. The results are surprising, beautiful, and provocative - and not to be missed. 2026 will mark the 17th year for Art Blooms, an exhibit co-hosted by the Calvert Garden Club and Annmarie Garden.
Presented by the Annmarie Gift Shop, the Ornament Show & Sale is a juried show that features hand-crafted ornaments by more than 25 regional artists. This is the perfect place to find unique and affordable gifts for friends and family. The ornaments are beautifully hung on trees displayed in the Main Gallery of the Arts Building. Visitors shop off the trees and take their purchases to the Gift Shop. The show kicks off before Thanksgiving and runs through early January. During Garden In Lights, the show is open late!
