Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center

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!

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.

Art for All Seasons at ACLT is the culmination of a year of local artists creating plein air works of art depicting the beautiful landscapes found throughout the American Chestnut Land Trust's preserved lands surrounding Parkers Creek in Calvert County, Maryland.

ACLT is a member-supported nonprofit whose mission is to promote land conservation and preservation throughout Southern Maryland. Since its inception in 1986, ACLT has helped to preserve over 3800 acres in the Parkers Creek and Governors Run watersheds. ACLT connects people to the land via 25+ miles of trails that run through dense forests, farm fields and meadows, and along gurgling streams. ACLT also supports the food-insecure members of the local community by donating produce raised at its Double Oak Farm to the local food bank. Proceeds from the exhibition will allow ACLT to continue its mission for the benefit of this and future generations.

Annmarie After Hours Reception: October 11, 5-7pm.

15th Annual Fairies in the Garden Outdoor Exhibit

April 5 - September 2, 2024

*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 5-12, you will find some around the Arts Buiding and some in the woods.  

Come explore this charming outdoor exhibit of more than 180 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 5, 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.

Admission: free for members; $5 for adults, $3 for kids, free for age 2 & under.
