Artists & Makers Studios Presents
“Small Images Bring Joy”
with The Gaithersburg Fine Arts Association
(Rockville, MD) – Artists & Makers Studios is thrilled to host the Gaithersburg Fine Arts Association for the month of December. The exhibit will run from December 3rd through December 18th, with a First Friday opening on December 5th from 5-8pm. The Gaithersburg Fine Arts Association was founded in 1976 as a small group of artists residing in Gaithersburg. Over the years, the group has grown to include members throughout Montgomery County, Frederick and DC. GFAA provides educational programs plus promotional opportunities through exhibits. Members work in the classical mediums of two-dimensional art: oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, tempera, drawing, and the graphic arts. This past summer, many members took the opportunity to travel. While away, they might have painted or sketched on location or captured memories using their cameras. These times are not forgotten, and GFAA members are excited to exhibit their work in a show titled “Small Images Bring Joy”. A Mini-Solo exhibit for Cathy Hirsh and Nancy Jakubowski, titled “Over the Rainbow” will open in the Lounge Gallery. Enjoy a Pop-Up with Naan Pocen, the sculptural work of Francis Maduka Uduh in studio 11, along with nineteen Gallery 209 Member Artists exhibiting their latest work. Open Studios building-wide will welcome visitors to visit and learn. Shop and support local working artists and makers. Delight in a visit from Butterfly Spirits - the current Butterfly Spirits portfolio includes elderberry vodka, botanical liqueur, hazelnut whiskey and three vodka soda canned offerings. Light fare generously sponsored by The Chesapeake Framing Company.
