Art Exhibit: Roxana Rojas-Luzón: Paper Rhapsody
2026-03-23 - 2026-05-17
* This exhibition runs Mar. 23–May 17, with a public reception on Thu., Apr. 2. *

Roxana is a collage artist fascinated by the art of collage. She uses snippets of magazine paper, fabric, photographs, pencil drawings, raw pigments, and anything that enriches the texture and color of her images. Her goal is for each of her art pieces to awaken feelings in the viewer. Consolation, love, festivity, protection, happiness, innocence, and solitude are words that she has heard others use to describe her collages.

This exhibit will be on display at the Publick Playhouse from March 23-May 17, 2026, and can be viewed during regular facility hours (M-F, 9 am-5 pm). Please note that exhibits cannot be viewed when a performance or event is in progress. Before viewing an exhibit, please call the Box Office at 301-277-1710 to check the performance schedule.

Featuring Jeff Huntington (JAHRU), Mei Mei Chang, Tang, June Lee, and Julia Chon, this exhibition highlights the diverse artistic expressions of AAPI artists who challenge boundaries—both literal and conceptual. Through dynamic visual storytelling and innovative materials, Borderless reflects the interconnectedness of heritage and contemporary experience, embracing art as a space without limits.

Art Enables presents Maurice Barnes & Nonja Tiller: Real Characters for the first part of the Art Enables at Brentwood series. Barnes and Tiller, both prolific and long-time Art Enables resident artists, bring their unique illustrative work to life, filled with narrative depth, keen observation, and expressive characters. Barnes’ colored pencil drawings depict vibrant scenes from everyday life, evoking a wide range of emotions, from laughter to surprise, tension, and compassion. They create a complex emotional landscape that reflects a deep sensitivity to individual experiences. Tiller’s ink drawings, brimming with whimsical and surreal creatures, often merge the familiar with the fantastic. Her works are populated by relatable human figures and alien-like beings, exploring raw emotions and gritty storytelling.

Linda Bernard: From the Earth
2026-04-18 - 2026-05-17

Linda Bernard is a resident artist whose work centers on hands‑on making across clay, fabric, and photography. In “From the Earth,” Bernard presents ceramics, horse hair raku, quilts and photographs inspired by nature. Her ceramics and raku works emphasize experimentation with shape, surface and fire while her quilts incorporate fabric, paint and even recycled jewelry pins to tell a story with fabric. Her photographs feature trees and reflections at Collington Lake, capturing the quiet beauty of the natural landscape.

The Unseen Archive Dr. Yemonja Smalls
2026-04-20 - 2026-06-07
This exhibition runs from April 20 through June 7, 2026.
