Greetings!

Today we are so excited to launch our new ONLINE ART MARKET! Browse and buy fine artwork and jewelry from the comfort of your home with Glen Echo Park Partnership Galleries’ latest endeavor to support our resident artists and other local artists. During this challenging time when many artists have faced diminished opportunities to show and sell their work, we are proud to bring their work to the Glen Echo Park community.  Also beginning this week is our new virtual music series: Live from the Spanish Ballroom. Musicians in a variety of genres will play for us live in the historic ballroom every Friday night from September 18 to October 23 and will be streamed on our Facebook page. If you are a dancer and miss live bands and dancing at the Park, be sure to join us for Swing, Tango, Blues, and Contra. (And go ahead and make some space to dance at home!) You'll find all the details and links for these activities and more below. Enjoy!

Online Art Market Presented by Glen Echo Park Partnership Galleries, this online market features work by resident artists and other local artists, and it includes pieces in a wide range of artistic media: • Jewelry • Kilnformed Glass • Ceramics • Painting • Photography • Silver • Sculpture We are excited to present a new and accessible way to support the artists and artwork you love!
