We had so much fun in 2023 that the Lego Holiday Village Display is back for the 2024 holiday season! From festive houses and architecture to winter trees, caves, and other natural elements, guests will be delighted by the exceptional creativity of our Lego builders! The exhibit will be on display during the day and, of course, during the evening of Annmarie Garden In Lights. Be sure to check our holiday hours before planning your visit, and if you are coming at night, you'll need to purchase light show tickets.

Timber: Contemporary Woodcraft
Juror: Rick Pelasara - Assistant Director of Exhibit Production, Emeritus, Smithsonian Institution
This celebrates the diverse and innovative ways that contemporary artists harness the versatility of wood as a medium for artistic expression. From utilizing traditional woodworking techniques (carving, turning, whittling, inlay, joinery, steam-bending, etc.) for furniture making and sculpture, to 2-D working methods like wood burning, to avant-garde installations fabricated with CNC machines and laser cutters, this exhibition aims to showcase all the creative ways artists engage with and manipulate wood to convey their narratives. Artists in 'Timber: Contemporary Woodcraft' have pushed the boundaries of both traditional and contemporary techniques by creating captivating wooden artworks.
This exhibition will be open to the public in the Kay Daugherty Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, from October 11, 2024, to January 20, 2025.Juror Award Winners
