Takoma ARTery Group Exhibition at the Takoma Park Community Center
TAKOMA ARTERY GROUP EXHIBITION
Takoma Park Community Center
7500 Maple Avenue
On view until June 2025
A group exhibition featuring work by 20 talented artists from the Takoma ARTery group is on display in the Takoma Park Community Center.
Their artwork spans many mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, encaustic, etchings, hand-cut paper, and mixed media. The artists explore a variety of themes from the deeply personal to global perspectives. The power, beauty and increasing fragility of nature provides inspiration for some artists. Others revel in the fleeting messages of street art, heartfelt portraits, or the minute details of everyday life.
The featured artists include Marilyn Banner, Paige Billin-Frye, Kate Childs Graham, Magalee Cirpili, Sara Daines, Tuula Ehn Smith, Dinesh Godavarty, Susanna Goldman, Li Howard, Julius Kassovic, Renee Lachman, Eleanor Landstreet, Janice Levitt, Ellen Maidman-Tanner, Jake Muirhead, Norah Neale, Becky Snider, Jeff Weiss, Randall Williams, and John Yao.
The City of Takoma Park’s Arts and Humanities Coordinator Brendan Smith curated the exhibition. “Takoma Park is home for many innovative artists, and it’s a privilege to showcase their work,” he said.
The Takoma ARTery was founded by local artists Eleanor Landstreet and Tuula Ehn Smith during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide an outlet for artists’ work through storefront window displays. The group has expanded to include an online artist directory, local artist meet-ups, and other events. For more info, go to takomaartery.org.
This exhibition is part of the Takoma Park Arts series organized by the City’s Arts and Humanities Division, which includes free concerts, theater, dance performances, film screenings, and other events at the Takoma Park Community Center. No tickets or reservations are required. To receive more info about all of our upcoming events, you can sign up for our weekly e-newsletter here.
