16th Annual Fairies in the Garden Outdoor Exhibit
April 4 - September 1, 2025
*Special note about the display of the houses: it takes our garden gnomes just over a week to place all the creations out in the garden, so if you visit between April 4-11, you will find some around the Arts Buiding and some in the woods.
Come explore this charming outdoor exhibit of more than 100 handmade houses scattered throughout the trails and woods of the garden. Made by wonderfully creative artists from the community (and beyond), this exhibit features works in all media.
Annmarie After Hours Opening Reception - Friday, April 4, 5-7pm
Join us for an outdoor family-friendly opening of our most magicalicious exhibit. All the houses will be displayed around the outside of the Arts Building. This is a great opportunity to see them all before they are scattered throughout the sculpture garden! Reservations are not required, just come. There will be a food truck, cash bar, and live music. Admission: free for members; $5 for adults, $3 for kids, free for age 2 & under.
Save the date! Fairy & Gnome Home Festival - Sunday, April 27, 11am-4pm.
JURIED SHOW - ARTIST APPLICATION
JUROR- Dr. Margaret A. Weitekamp, Department Chair and Curator of the Space History Department, National Air and Space Museum
This exhibition invites viewers to explore visionary landscapes, fantastic cityscapes, and surreal dreamscapes crafted by contemporary artists. Blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination, the exhibition will showcase artwork that transports audiences to new and unexpected realms. Each piece serves as a portal into an artist’s unique, invented world, inspiring wonder, and curiosity. There is a heavy emphasis on worlds created by artists as opposed to preexisting fictional universes.
This exhibition will be open to the public in the Kay Daugherty Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, from May 9, 2025, to September 21, 2025. There will be an Annmarie After Hours opening reception for the exhibition on May 9th, 2025 from 5 pm-7 pm.

Art Blooms After Hours Reception - Friday, August 8, 5-8pm
Art Blooms is a three-day exhibit featuring the work of more than 25 floral designers from across the region. Each floral designer is assigned a work of art in the Main Gallery or the Kay Daugherty Gallery and asked to create an arrangement inspired by that work of art. The results are surprising, beautiful, and provocative - and not to be missed. 2025 will mark the 16th year for Art Blooms, an exhibit co-hosted by the Calvert Garden Club and Annmarie Garden.
Get ready for some great holiday shopping! During November and December, the Main Gallery is transformed into a shopper's wonderland! You will find a wide selection of handmade works of art for everyone on your list. From affordable gifts perfect for a co-worker to exquiste works of art for a loved one, including paintings, ceramics, jewelry, photography, sculpture and more. All artwork will be on display in conjunction with our annual Ornament Show & Sale.
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!
