JURIED SHOW
This exhibition examines how artists capture, interpret, and evoke movement through visual rhythm. From the fluidity of gestures to the pulse of repeated forms, and from the suggestion of physical motion to the sensation of energetic flow, this show celebrates artworks that embody momentum, dynamic flow, and cadence. Viewers are encouraged to experience how visual art can reflect the beats, patterns, and motions that animate the world around us. The chosen works reference rhythm found in nature, the human body, architecture, sound, or purely abstract movement, with a central focus on how artists create the feeling of motion through visual means.
What can we learn from flowers? What happens when we turn our attention to their beauty and complexity?
Students from St. Mary's College of Maryland set off to answer these questions in Fall 2024, through the Climate Affect - an initiative launched by the department of Environmental Studies. Each student in the "Environment and Society" class studied a flower planted at the Kate Chandler Campus Community Farm. They researched its science, histories, uses, and cultural stories, and created the art you see displayed on this gallery wall.
Each year, the Climate Affect invites students, faculty, and the campus community to join a network of events and collaborators aimed at elevating the climate dialogue through the arts. Our aim is to foster awe, wonder, and creativity, because resilience and regeneration require both ecological and imaginative renewal.
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.
