Annmarie's Salon de Refuses: A Last Chance Show & Sale
Modeled after the Parisian Salon of 1862, Annmarie's Salon des Refuses, or 'exhibition of rejects', will include works that have previously been turned down by a gallery or show, or just haven't sold. Let's celebrate rejects, underappreciated, and misunderstood works - and give them another chance at life! With all works priced under $350, this is a wonderful opportunity to find a fabulous work of art that someone else rejected, but might be perfect for you! We'll be selling the works off the wall, so you can take the art home to enjoy immediately. Expect to see works from Southern Maryland artists and beyond!
Annmarie After Hours Opening Reception - Friday, March 8, 2019, 5-8pm
The reception will include live music, light refreshments, and a cash bar; adults only: $5/person, members free.

For a few special weeks, Annmarie’s spectacular Main Gallery is transformed into artist studios, where visitors will have the opportunity to observe and interact with artists as they work. This exciting time at the Garden provides a unique retreat and experimental space for artists to develop new works, display and sell their work, to network with other artists, and to share their creative process. Over twenty artists working in a variety of mediums are scheduled to participate over the course of the event. Visitors will be able to watch, learn, ask questions, and in some cases, become engaged in an art project. The participating artists are encouraged to create a hands-on experience for guests, which may include an invitation to experiment with materials and/or process, or collaboration on an idea or design. Artists in Action is a wonderful opportunity to get an up close look at the working and creative process of an artist.
As part of the exhibition, artists' works will be available for purchase.
