(NORTH BETHESDA, MD)—Tuesday, September 6 through Saturday, October 29, Strathmore hosts three powerful art exhibitions. “Purpose-Repurpose!" examines the environment, using recycled fiber and textiles; “Metalwork 2022” is a juried exhibition from an artist collective working in enamel and metal; and “A Decisive War” offers an intimate reflection about internal conflict through portraiture. These exhibitions demonstrate artists’ ability to excel in a diverse range of mediums and styles.
“This fall, artists deliver compelling compositions in an array of media and form exhibiting craftsmanship at its finest, developed through years of study and dedication,” said Lesley Morris, director of Mansion and Galleries at Strathmore. “As visitors see these extraordinary works, we hope they will consider their own lives and how our environment affects their everyday experience,” Morris said of the “Purpose-Repurpose!” exhibition.
