Bethesda Row Arts Festival - this weekend, rain or shine!

 

Hi VAC families!?
?
Please join me this weekend at the??I'll be showing my layered paper and painted plywood artworks in?BOOTH B22?on Bethesda Ave (near William-Sonoma / Lululemon.)?
?
The Bethesda Row Arts Festival is one of the leading fine arts and craft festivals in the mid-Atlantic, featuring juried museum-quality artists -- and I am thrilled to be one of the few 'hometown' artists exhibiting! Noa, (VAC / 10th grade) will be assisting me at the show, and we'd both be thrilled to see some of our VAC friends there ??
?
Over the weekend, the streets of Bethesda Row are transformed into an outdoor gallery, showcasing fourteen media categories that are juried: ceramics, drawing/pastels, fiber/decorative, fiber/wearables, glass, graphics/printmaking, jewelry, metalwork, mixed media 2D, mixed media 3D, oil/acrylic painting, photography/digital art, sculpture, watercolor, and wood. It's a really cool show, and I highly recommend it to students both for the quality of the work, and also to see artists-in-action: This is one of the ways independent artists are able to exhibit and work, and it's kind of a fun scene in its own right.?
?
The show is open on Saturday, October 14 from 11:00am to 6:00pm and Sunday, October 15 from 10:00am to 5:00pm -- rain or shine!!?
?
Hope to see you there!
