Gaithersburg Fine Arts Association

Arts on the Green presents the annual juried art exhibition of the Gaithersburg Fine Arts Association (GFAA) at Kentlands Mansion, April 27 through July 6, 2018. The public is invited to meet the artists at a free reception on Thursday, May 10 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

This year’s exhibit was juried by Allen Bentley, an accomplished painter who has exhibited throughout the country with solo shows in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and San Diego, as well as a solo museum show at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts. In addition to being a practicing artist, Allen teaches Figure Drawing and Drawing at Montgomery College.

The GFAA provides a forum for members to collaborate on activities that expand on their individual artistic backgrounds. The group provides educational programs, promotional opportunities and outreach to local audiences and the broader artistic community, and holds multiple exhibits during the year throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Founded in 1970, the GFAA has grown to more than 80 members, many of whom regularly exhibit their work, actively teach, or contribute to Montgomery County arts events. The group’s limited scope allows for intense dedication to the classical mediums of the arts. Members work in oil, watercolor, acrylic, tempera, and the graphic arts. More information can be found at www.gaithersburgfinearts.org.

Located at 320 Kent Square Road, the Mansion Gallery offers the opportunity to view art in the beautiful, timeless setting of historic Kentlands Mansion. Viewing hours are Monday through Friday by appointment only. Please call the Mansion prior to your visit.

Please note that most of the artwork is for sale and all images are copyrighted by the artists.
