The Arts Barn is pleased to welcome back the Gaithersburg Artist Collective “Artists on Market” for a special holiday exhibit on display November 25, 2022, through January 8, 2023. The Arts Barn is located at 311 Kent Square Road, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Viewing hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m., during events and other activities, or by appointment.

Join us for a free artists reception November 26th from 4-6pm. Visitors are also invited to “Meet Artists on Market” on Saturday, December 10 from Noon to 5 p.m. Enjoy watching artist demonstrations in the teaching studios and browse an extended inventory during this special event.

This year’s exhibit features more than 1,200 unique, handmade items by members of the Gaithersburg Artist Collective, many perfect for the season’s gift giving. Items include paintings, prints, cards, ceramics, photography, jewelry, art glass, turned wood, mixed media and much more.

The Collective last exhibited at the Arts Barn during the 2020 holiday season with many subsequent requests to have them back. “We were so delighted that the Collective had a break in their pop-up schedule, which has allowed them to come back to the Arts Barn,” says City Gallery Program Coordinator Jaree Donnelly. “As a juried group, we know their work is going to be top-notch and they have such a breadth of mediums represented in their membership. We hope that the community will really enjoy this exhibit and that everyone will be able to find a treasure to take home with them this season."

In addition to the exhibit, the Collective will have a holiday giving box available in the Arts Barn Gallery to help collect food for local food banks, warm clothing for The Dwelling Place, and Little Free Library books.
