Takoma ARTery Exhibition Opening Reception

Twenty talented artists from the Takoma ARTery group will display their work in a group exhibition at the Takoma Park Community Center highlighting the diverse range and vibrant creativity of our local artist community.

Their artwork spans many mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, encaustic, etchings, hand-cut paper, and mixed media. The artists explore a variety of themes from the deeply personal to global perspectives. The power, beauty and increasing fragility of nature provides inspiration for some artists. Others revel in the fleeting messages of street art, heartfelt portraits, or the minute details of everyday life.

The featured artists include Marilyn Banner, Paige Billin-Frye, Kate Childs Graham, Magalee Cirpili, Sara Daines, Tuula Ehn Smith, Dinesh Godavarty, Susanna Goldman, Lisa Howard, Julius Kassovic, Renee Lachman, Eleanor Landstreet, Janice Levitt, Ellen Maidman-Tanner, Jake Muirhead, Norah Neale, Becky Snider, Jeff Weiss, Randall Williams, and John Yao.

The Takoma ARTery was founded by local artists Eleanor Landstreet and Tuula Ehn Smith during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide an outlet for artists’ work through storefront window displays. The group has expanded to include an online artist directory, local artist meet-ups, and other events. For more info, go to takomaartery.org.
