The artists on this tour have works in private collections across the country and have shown in many celebrated galleries, museums, and exhibitions.  This year, the Countryside Artisans have been selected for two group exhibitions celebrating the countryside at the Kentlands Mansion and Black Rock Center for the Arts.

The Countryside Artisans of Maryland represents a selected group of accomplished visual, sculptural, and textile artists working in oil, pastel, watercolor, pencil, ceramics, porcelain, glass, stone, wood, yarn, textiles, photography, silver, enamel, hops and grapes.  The Countryside Artisans jointly open their galleries and studios located in historic, rural Montgomery, Howard, and Frederick Counties in Maryland for three art tours each year in April, October, and December.  (The galleries and studios are also open at other times and by appointment.)  Visit countrysideartisans.com to learn more.
