Now through March 30
Gallery Hours: Friday 5-8pm, Saturday 3-8pm, or by appointment
Mr. Bartman's work represents emotional interpretations, marked by rhythmic touches of paint and color. Other techniques of interest are dramatic compositions, capturing light, and recording the views of the vanishing landscape.

Mr. Bartman's painting travels have taken him to Antietam, Frederick, Middletown Valley, Tilghman Island, St. Michaels, and Crisfield, MD; Chincoteague, VA; Santa Fe and Taos, N.M.; Sedona, AZ; the Bahamas; Bermuda; Italy; Spain; and Eastern European cities including Prague, Bratislava, and Budapest. |

Finally a fun workshop for all skill levels. Have you been thinking about taking painting lessons but you haven't had the courage?

Well you are not the only one. Elisabeth's gentle guidance will show you how easy it is to free yourself from rules and techniques, have fun, and paint like a 5-year old. Fearless!!
No matter where you are you will leave with a renewed sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. |

 THE SOUND OF MUSIC
Now - March 15, 2014
When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy. The family's narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre.
Performances are every Friday and Saturday evening, with matinees on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays of each month. To purchase tickets, call the Box Office at (301) 662-6600.
