Artist Reception at the C. William Gilchrist Gallery &amp; Museum

🎨 Exhibition Dates: April 3 – May 10, 2026
✨ Artist Reception: Saturday, April 11 | 5:00–7:00 PM
📍 Location: C. William Gilchrist Gallery &amp; Museum, Cumberland, MD
🎟 Admission: Free and open to the public

The C. William Gilchrist Gallery &amp; Museum is excited to kick off the 2026 exhibition season with Cat’s Cradle Collective, a dynamic group exhibition showcasing the work of more than 30 artists from across Western Maryland.

Cat’s Cradle is an artist-run collective that brings together creators of all ages and backgrounds who share a passion for building community through art. The collective regularly rotates artwork through its gallery at 28 N. Centre Street in Cumberland, creating a vibrant space where experimental, bold, and unconventional pieces can be shared with the public.

Inspired by Appalachian heritage, underground art culture, and the spirit of creative freedom, the collective celebrates artwork that might not always find a home in traditional gallery settings. From expressive and thought-provoking pieces to playful and irreverent works, the exhibition reflects the diverse voices and perspectives of the region’s creative community.

Beyond exhibitions, Cat’s Cradle also hosts poetry events, writing workshops, and collaborative gatherings that encourage connection and artistic exploration.

Join us April 11 from 5–7 PM to meet many of the artists, experience the energy of the collective, and celebrate the opening of this exciting group exhibition.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Gilchrist for the first show of the season.
