Artists & Makers Studios in Rockville Presents
Olney Art Association and “Small Works for a Big Anniversary”
for the Month of December
(Rockville, MD) – Artists & Makers Studios on Parklawn Drive in Rockville is thrilled to host Olney Art Association in the Invited Artist Gallery for the month of December. The exhibit runs from December 4th through December 18th, with an opening reception on Friday, December 6th, 5 – 8pm. This Small Works exhibition features members’ work. In 1974 rural Olney was considered to be out in the country, with many active farms. Five people with a passion for creating original artwork started talking to each other about art. They didn’t have much formal art training. Meeting in each other’s homes they shared ideas about art and started inviting local artists to participate and demonstrate art techniques. Over time Olney Art Association evolved as an organization. Art shows were planned and the public was invited and more people wanted to join to grow and share their creativity and love of art. With 70 member artists, the Association is now considered to be one of the premier art groups in the DMV. Enjoy additional exhibits “The Blues” with Resident Artists in the Gallery Hall, a mini-solo with Mark McAlister in the Lounge Gallery, a Pop-Up Shop with Colleen Darkow, along with nineteen Gallery 209 Member Artists exhibiting their latest work. Open Studios building wide will welcome visitors. Shop and support local working artists, makers, and professionals. Light fare sponsored by The Chesapeake Framing Company and craft beer will be offered for sale by Third Hill Brewing Co.
