From October 16 through November 11, 2024, Portraits will be featured in both galleries. The Willow will exhibit 75 portraits by 15 Maryland Portrait artists from the Maryland Hall Portrait Co-op. These portraits will be in a variety of media; Oil, Acrylic, Pastel and Charcoal. The Co-op studio offers the opportunity to work independently from life with a variety of models in a relaxed collegial atmosphere.
The Garden Gallery will hold PORTRAITS – by Sandy Cohen. She stated that “during a well-filled life, I long ignored an early teen encounter with oil painting until, when retired from a legal career, I was tempted into portraiture by my irresistible grandchildren. This sparked an interest that has lasted and broadened. In my portraits, I try to capture something of the spirit of the subject in an artful way.”
The Opening Reception will be October 20 from 1:30 to 3:30 in the Galleries located in the Visitor Center. The Center is opened from 9 – 4 to weekdays and 10 – 4 on weekends. Entrance to the Park is $6. per vehicle; fee is waived for the Reception only.
