October in the Galleries with Open Studios

October in the Galleries with Open Studios brings together the work of Lori Rounds, Richard Svec, and Artists & Makers Studios’ resident artists for a month-long fall exhibition. Rounds’ presentation, “Reimagined,” reflects a period of artistic change in which disrupted working methods led her to explore new materials, gestures, and creative possibilities.

Svec is featured in a mini-solo exhibition in the Lounge Gallery, while the Gallery Hall presents new work by the 19 member artists of Gallery 209. Visitors can also see sculptural work by Francis Maduka Uduh in Studio 11. The event offers an opportunity to view and purchase handmade work while supporting local artists, makers, and creative professionals. Light refreshments are provided monthly by The Chesapeake Framing Company.
