In conjunction with George Billis Gallery of New York City, the museum will present an exhibition of still life paintings by contemporary artists in the Bowman and Kerstein Galleries. The exhibition will be on view August 5, 2012 through January 20, 2013. Artists represented in the exhibition include Susan Jane Belton, Derek Buckner, Matt Condron, Stanley Goldstein, Tom Gregg, Kenny Harris, Russ Havard, Randall W.L. Mooers, Jeffrey Reed, Ephraim Rubenstein, and Christopher Stott.

            A special evening reception and gallery talk with gallerist George Billis and artists in the exhibition will take place Saturday, September 8, 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. Wine and cheese will be provided by members of the museum’s volunteer organization, the Singer Society, and artists will discuss their works in the exhibition. Tickets for this event are $15.00 for museum members and $20.00 for non-museum members and can be purchased by calling 301-739-5727.

            Works of art in the exhibition represent how 21st century artists use the traditional still life theme to explore the pieces and nuances that make up everyday life. From coffee cups and books to bowls of fruit and flowers the subjects captured by these artists take on new lives through the artists’ choice of composition, color, and style.
