New Gallery
By the time that you add up all the independent commercial fine arts galleries, all the non profit art galleries and spaces, all the cultural art centers, all the alternative art venues and (what most people usually forget about) all the embassy galleries, our area's gallery scene is one of the largest concentrations of art galleries in the nation, especially for our relative small geographical size, with over 200 visual art spaces distributed all over the Greater Washington, DC region.
That's more galleries than any other major metropolitan area in the United States other than perhaps New York, LA and the Bay area.
And a new gallery is opening!
Rossdhu Gallery hosts its inaugural show this weekend, featuring Cindy Brandt, Rona Eisner, Adele Morris, Christopher Rich and Estelle Vernon.
Rossdhu Gallery is located at 7608 Rossdhu Ct., Chevy Chase, Maryland. Call them ahead for hours at 301-951-4443.

The festival, scheduled for Sat., May 13 and Sun., May 14, 2006, will be held in downtown Bethesda's Woodmont Triangle along Norfolk and Auburn Avenues.

Videopaintings
This is what the Scott Hutchison show looks like after almost finished being installed. The piece being projected onto the gallery window is called "Chatter."
The small oils are accompanied by a small LCD screen where the finished video, which assembles the paintings into a videopainting, is shown.
Opening is tonight from 6-9PM.
