Arts in the New Normal showcases more than fifty works of art from Korean-American artists living and working in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Although the Covid-19 pandemic has forced many of us to change our plans and find creative ways to adapt, there is hope that society and life can return to some resemblance of life before the pandemic. Every artist has experienced this challenging time differently and we all understand that the new normal we are looking forward to may not be exactly as before. Still, we are hopeful for days when Covid-19 doesn’t dominate the news, and gathering with friends and family isn’t considered high risk behavior. The works in this exhibition reflect that hope and those contradictions of joy and loss, of fear and strength, that each artist has shared in a unique way.

Presented by the Annmarie Gift Shop, the Ornament Show & Sale is a juried show that features hand-crafted ornaments by more than 25 regional artists. This is the perfect place to find unique and affordable gifts for friends and family. The ornaments are beautifully hung on trees displayed in the Main Gallery of the Arts Building. Visitors shop off the trees and take their purchases to the Gift Shop. The show kicks off before Thanksgiving and runs through early January. During Garden In Lights, the show is open late!

Get ready for some great holiday shopping! The Main Gallery will have a wide selection of handmade works perfect for everyone on your list. You'll find a wide selection of affordable one-of-a-kind items made with love! All artwork will be on display in conjunction with our annual holiday Ornament Show & Sale.

Every year in Maryland thousands of deerskins are thrown away. With a little knowledge and a lot of elbow grease these deer skins can be transformed into supple buckskins. During this workshop you will learn how Native Americans made buckskin and get a hands-on chance to use both native and modern tools in making your own buckskin to keep. This is a multiday workshop. The sessions will be Sunday Nov 7th, Saturday Nov 13th, and Sunday Nov 14th from 10am-5pm. This workshop is perfect for ages 16 and up.

Check out the exhibit currently at ArtWorks at 7th "Small Beauties" all though November and December. Come out and purchase some art made by local artists as a unique gift. Gallery of works available for purchase in person and online. We are open Thursday - Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
