SUMMARY:Discovering American Art: The Birth of Revolutionary Spirit
DESCRIPTION:The Hammond-Harwood House Museum\, an 18th-century Anglo-Palladian house with a collection of American paintings and furniture\, is hosting its annual Discovering American Art lecture this year on the build-up to the American Revolution.

SUMMARY:Fiber Options 2026 Closing Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate all the incredible work featured in this year’s Fiber Options Show! \nTextile arts are a method of telling stories of war\, politics\, religious and mythical tales\, and other folklore. From ancient Chinese garments and medieval European tapestries to Indigenous American weavings\, nearly every culture has embraced techniques like embroidery\, sewing\, appliqué\, quilting\, and weaving to pass down narratives and traditions. Technology and techniques continue to evolve. To combat staggering amounts of textile waste\, artists can recycle and repurpose fabric into sustainable masterpieces. Think about the intersections of function\, purpose\, and beauty and how you can use fibers to create artwork. \nMFA seeks creative work using natural or synthetic textiles and/or fabric as a medium for artistic expression. Mixed media work incorporating textiles or textile techniques such as weaving or embroidery are also encouraged. Work that is simply a depiction (i.e. paintings\, photos\, prints) of fiber art will not be accepted. \nMaryland Federation of Art (MFA) invites all artists residing in any of the states or territories of the US\, Canada\, or Mexico to enter our biennial Fiber Options exhibition. All original 2D or 3D work incorporating the use of textiles and following exhibition guidelines will be considered. MFA exhibitions are blind juried by professional and credentialed art experts. Works selected by the juror will be exhibited in MFA’s Circle Gallery from October 28 – November 21\, 2026. Exhibition Chair: Angela Petruncio.
