Artists & Makers Studios First Anniversary!

Artists & Makers Studios will present the Resident Artist exhibit At 1(one), and The Painted Fox, two very special exhibits to begin Artists & Makers Studios' first anniversary celebrations.  At 1(one) is a play on words in regard to the momentous occasion of our first anniversary and the tight-knit bonds that have developed in this artists’ haven.  The Painted Fox is a joyous, exuberant celebration of color, line and form with ColorBoxes and painted books by artist Julianne Fuchs-Musgrave.  Opening Friday, March 4th, the exhibits continue through Wednesday, March 23rd.  These curated exhibits will fill the galleries with color, beauty and vibrancy.

Artists & Makers Studios

11810 Parklawn Dr., Suite 210

Rockville, MD 20852

Artists & Makers Studios’ two main galleries will feature the incredible talents of our Resident Artists.  In the past year our emerging and mid-career artists have come together to work and grow and unite in bonds of professional affiliation and friendship that have deepened their skills and talents - and enriched their studio practices.  At Artists & Makers Studios our main duty is to nurture talent, provide opportunities for personal and professional growth, and to maintain an inspiring, welcoming environment responsive to the needs of serious artists – while at the same time welcoming our neighbors and the larger community as a whole.

In the long Gallery Hall, Julianne Fuchs-Musgrave will delight with delicate boxes and books constructed of gorgeous color-soaked paper. The paper constructions from Julianne’s childhood have evolved into structures that begin with abstract ink paintings.  She approaches her work with a desire to meld functional structure with the freedom of “Color School” abstract paintings.  Each piece incorporates her training as a painter and sculptor.  All of the artworks are handmade, using classic and new art materials: archival inks, and fine art papers.

Artists & Makers Studios, established in October 2014 by artist and arts community builder Judith HeartSong, is located at 11810 Parklawn Dr. Rockville, MD 20852.  The facility has grown by 40% in its first year of operation and is now home to 70 Resident Artists and a growing number of affiliates.  A&M Studios is dedicated to providing a supportive and vibrant environment for artists to realize their creative goals - through studio practice, collaboration, education, opportunities, networking and connecting with the community beyond our doors.
