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.

Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center is pleased to present 'Wild Muse: Animals in Art'. This exhibition will be open to the public in the Kay Daugherty Gallery from May 5 to September 17, 2023.
Lions and tigers and … griffins? Oh, my! Ever since humans first started drawing on cave walls, the animal world served as an endless source of fascination. Incorporating animal motifs into their decorative vocabulary, artists today use various commonplace creatures and mythic beasts to imbue their artwork with majesty, familiarity, or even humor. This exhibition showcases a selection of artwork depicting animals, both real and imagined.

Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center presents 'Beyond the Horizon: Explorations of Landscape' which will be open to the public in the Main Gallery from June 9 to August 27, 2023.
'Beyond the Horizon: Explorations of Landscape' will showcase a diverse range of contemporary landscape art. The artists featured in the exhibit explore the natural world in new and innovative ways, often pushing the boundaries of traditional landscape art.
Contemporary landscape can take many forms, from realistic and representational works that capture the beauty of the natural world to more abstract and conceptual pieces that use the landscape as a means of exploring broader themes related to identity, culture, human impact, and politics. Unlike traditional landscape art, which often sought to capture a realistic and idealized representation of the landscape, contemporary landscape art often challenges our assumptions and expands our understanding of this fundamental aspect of the human experience to allow viewers to interact with the landscape in new ways.

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. 2023 will mark the 14th year for Art Blooms, an exhibit co-hosted by the Calvert Garden Club and Annmarie Garden.
Get ready for some great holiday shopping! The Main Gallery will have a wide selection of handmade works perfect for everyone on your list.
