Fragments: Reflections on Memory
Juried by Reiker Dean, Exhibition & Education Specialist, Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center
This exhibition seeks to explore how individual and collective memory can shape our identity and perception, influencing our understanding of the world around us. Whether through nostalgia, trauma, joy, or loss, memory intertwines with our daily lives and exists as a fluid, shifting narrative. We challenge artists to explore the fragmented nature of memory, its fluidity, distortions, and how the passage of time affects our perception of the past and present.
This exhibition will be open to the public in the Kay Daugherty Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, from February 21, 2025, to April 27, 2025. We are also excited to be hosting an Annmarie After Hours opening reception on February 21, 2025 from 5pm-7pm.

'Let Them Cook: Teen Art Exhibition' is a showcase of teen creativity, celebrating the bold and fresh perspectives of young artists aged 13 to 19. This exhibition invites teens to express themselves through their artwork, no matter the artistic medium. Discover artworks that reflect the passions, struggles, and dreams of the up-and-coming generation of artists. Join us to support and explore the incredible skill of young artists—because when teens create, they cook up something extraordinary!
The exhibit will include two components: a virtual show that will include all submitted work and a juried gallery show that will feature works selected by the Annmarie Sculpture Garden exhibits team. This exhibit will be open to the public in the Main Gallery from March 7 - 30, 2025. The virtual exhibit will be published on the Annmarie Sculpture Garden website by March 14, 2025. We are also excited to host an Annmarie After Hours opening reception on March 7, 2025 from 5 pm-7 pm. We will also be hosting a teen-only Teen Takeover party on March 28, 2025, from 7 pm-10 pm.

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.

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.
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!
