About Face explores the artist as storyteller. How does an artist develop and arrange the elements of a good story—character, setting, plot, conflict, climax, and resolution—through the format of a portrait? Though we all have a story to tell, what is gained or lost when we are rendered through an artist’s point of view? Do the completed works represent the person we are, the person we strive to be, or the character the artist sees? How do traditional and new media types affect the impact of a portrait? This exhibition highlights portraits that tell a compelling story in a visually interesting way.

About SUPERSIZE: Bigger Is Better?
What fuels our fascination with obscene quantities and obsessive amounts? From supersized to overstuffed, from bulk to buy-one-get-one, we are in a constant quest for more, yet we decry the after-effects of over-consumption. SUPERSIZEexplores the art of the supersized; art that tackles the absurdity of life on a grand scale. Many of these outrageous works will make you smile and laugh out loud, but take time to explore the entire exhibit – both indoors and outside - and to read the artist statements. Taken as a whole, the diverse works included in SUPERSIZE contain important messages about our relationships with our stuff, and how we consume the Earth’s resources. This complex and entertaining exhibit is a celebration and critical commentary, full of beauty, humor, and some really big stuff.

Art Blooms is a three day show featuring the work of floral designers from across the region. Each floral designer is assigned a work of art in the Main Gallery and asked to create an arrangement inspired by the art. The results are surprising, beautiful, and provocative - and not to be missed. 2011 will mark the second year for Art Blooms, an event co-hosted by the Calvert Garden Club and Annmarie. Proceeds from the Friday night opening reception will benefit a project at Annmarie. Tickets for this year's event will go on sale later in the spring.
Opening Reception for Art Blooms, Friday, July 29, 2011, 7-10pm; tickets required.

This spectacular exhibit of "art on wheels" features photographs of hot rods taken by race car driver and photographer Peter Harholdt. In his career as a photographer, Harholdt has photographed countless works of art for museums across the United States. Using a specially constructed mobile studio, he has developed equipment and techniques for photographing large format objects, including race cars. Whether photographing a painting for the Museum of Modern Art, or a 1932 Ford Roadster, Harholdt's skill and talent reveal the breath-taking beauty of each object. The Art of the Hot Rod exhibit at Annmarie Garden highlights Harholdt's photographs from the book, The Art of the Hot Rod, written by Ken Gross (2008, published by MBI Publishing Company and Motorbooks).
