The Gaither Center Gallery is located at 80A Bureau Dr. in Gaithersburg. The exhibit will open on Oct. 21 and continue through Jan. 16. The artwork will be for sale, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to help preserve Maryland waterways.
The exhibition is part of G-PARC’s Art & the Environment program, which uses art to engage, educate and motivate people to protect the environment. The exhibit will include art with a dominant feature of a natural Maryland waterway, including creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic shoreline.
Artists will be notified of selections by Friday, Sept. 23. More details on the exhibit, and an application form, can be found here.
