Gardens are filled with numerous textures and colors. From the flowers to the vegetables, all the way to the critters that have made a home on a leaf or in the soil. There is so much inspiration to find, explore, and create. This new exhibit gives artists an opportunity to bring a garden or elements of a garden to life through their art.
What’s Up? Media’s new exhibit displays the beautiful two-dimensional work of local Anne Arundel County artists. Exhibits rotate every four months, each with a new theme. This exhibit will be on display until August 15th, 2022 and is located at 201 Defense Highway in Annapolis on the second floor Monday through Friday 8 AM to 6 PM.
