The Frederick Arts Council is pleased to announce Dwellings, a juried group show of art related to the theme of “home,” by local and regional artists, at the Frederick Arts Council’s Gallery located at 1 N Market Street in the heart of Downtown Frederick August 21 through October 22, 2024.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 11am-4pm.

Concept:
Home is a concept rich with meaning, encompassing identity, location, time, and quotidian nuances. In this exhibition, we seek to celebrate the diverse perspectives of what “home” means. Whether it is a physical space, an emotional refuge, or a symbolic idea, home is deeply intertwined with our sense of self and our place in the world. Artists included in the Dwellings show include: Kathy Burke, Elizabeth Crisman, Matthew Clarke Davis, Genie Ghim, Beckie Laughlin, Emimora, Marguerite de Messières, Sheryl Massaro, Julianna McCormick, Matt Mercer, Heather Ravenscroft, Kristie Taylor, Rosa Torres-Rivera, Richard Weiblinger, and Beamie Young.
About the juror: Liana Owad is an artist working with traditional and contemporary mediums to create sculptures and works on paper. Her work explores the domestic space and addresses the ideas of comfort and confinement in the home. She focuses on certain objects from the home or habits of routine daily life in her sculptures, prints, and drawings. Owad received her MFA in 2014 from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and her BFA in 2010 from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania.
