Gaithersburg Fine Arts Association 35th Annual Exhibition

Artwork is on display through July 5, 2021, at Kentlands Mansion. Viewing is by appointment only, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and select Saturdays. Please call 301-258-6394.

This year’s exhibit was juried by artist & instructor Eric Westbrook. His work has been described as “an ‘art of attention’ – a reference to his close observation of a subject, both for its surface details and for the structure & rhythm of its underlying form.” Westbrook teaches at VisArts, the Yellow Barn, and the Smithsonian.

Out of more than 90 submissions, 44 pieces were chosen for this exhibit. Best in Show went to Grace Newcomer for her pastel piece, “Yellowstone Morning.” Other award winners include Robert Maarsen, Angela Lacy, Mak Dehejia, Rafael Ernesto Galan, Gail Kaplan-Wassell, Ellen Sherfey, Perry Kapsch, Sandra Schraibman, Linda S. Sherman, and Helga Albers.

Founded in 1976, the GFAA is a community of artists residing in Montgomery County and beyond that provides a forum to collaborate on activities that expand on individual artistic backgrounds. The group provides educational programs, promotional opportunities and outreach to local audiences and the broader artistic community, and holds multiple exhibits throughout the year.
