Otis Street Arts Project 10th Anniversary!

10th Anniversary Exhibition!

Opening reception March 22, 6-9PM

Otis Street Arts Project celebrates its 10th anniversary with an exhibition featuring 10 of their favorite artists.

OSAP started when glass artist Sean Hennessey first met sculptor David Mordini and decided to open an art space based on a handshake and good vibes.

A decade later, OSAP remains dedicated to fostering a creative community, warm and welcoming for our in-house artists and one that showcases exceptional artists from the DMV. Over these ten years, OSAP has hosted performance art, exhibitions, small theater, meetings, public critiques and served as a gathering space for the greater art community. We have worked with hundreds of artists and have invited 10 artists to help celebrate this major milestone.

Artists:

Robin Bell, Lorenzo Cardim, Cheryl Edwards, Heloisa Escudero, Adam Griffiths, Sean Hennessy, James Huckenpahler, Zofie King, Carolina Mayorga, Mercedes

Exhibition: March 22–May 3, 2024

Hours during exhibition: Sat 12–4PM and also by appointment

Opening reception: March 22, 6-9PM

Tonight I'm heading to Artists & Makers' 10th!

Tonight I will be at Artists & Makers in Rockville, which will celebrate 10 years of being one of the key parts of the visual arts tapestries of the DMV!  

Let me repeat: Art galleries are labors of love and often run by the skin of the teeth of the owners! 10 year anniversary for art spaces is like 100 years for any other business!

Celebrations are today Friday, March 7, 2025 from 5:00PM - 8:00PM at Artists & Makers Studios, 11810 Parklawn Drive, Suite 210 in Rockville, MD 20852.

The event runs from 5-8pm, with remarks by various folks, including me, starting at 7pm.

A sparkling cider toast to the artists will follow. There are open studios throughout the 13,000 sq ft, five gallery exhibits that include a children’s exhibit in studio 11 (their large classroom) for Bethesda Bannockburn Elementary students, the Women’s Caucus for Art – DC exhibit, the 19 member Gallery 209, the Resident Artist “Best of” exhibit, and a mini-solo show for Resident Artist Kate Bramante.

New show opens tomorrow at DWIGHTMESS!
