PRESS Publick Playhouse In this exhibition, Fran Oviedo’s paintings allude to her native country of Chile, where she lived for much of her life. However, being that her work is abstract landscapes and, in some cases, reaching complete abstraction, the viewer can be transported anywhere in the world or from their imagination. Oviedo’s works largely reflect her inner, optimistic and adventurous world, and that gets further influenced by particular situations she is in. La Cosecha Esta exhibición presenta obras dinámicas de pintura abstracta de la artista chilena Francisca Oviedo. El trabajo de Francisca es principalmente técnica mixta sobre lienzo. La exposición “Post Primavera” es el resultado del trabajo realizado por el artista durante las temporadas de primavera de 2021 y 2022. Explorando sus emociones a través de colores y texturas, Francisca quiere evocar la felicidad y el positivismo en el espectador, como una forma de celebrar la vida después de los momentos difíciles que nos ha tocado vivir. Aplicando capas de pintura, collage, textiles y patrones de costura, construye formas dando y quitando.

Art in the garden Brookside Gardens is excited to announce its partnership with Wheaton Arts Parade to bring our visitors Pyramids 2021 from June 11 through September 19, 2021. The outdoor exhibition features thirteen works of art by sixteen local artists and highlights the diversity of Montgomery County. Wheaton arts parade When the COVID pandemic prevented the 4th annual Wheaton Arts Parade & Festival last September, WAP brought art to the streets and sidewalks of Wheaton where it could be appreciated safely. Why pyramids? Wheaton is formed by the intersection of three state highways, creating what is known as the Wheaton Triangle. The annual parade is called “Parade the Triangle” and a triangle has been featured on many of the parade posters. New Member September Spotlight Fran’s artistic motivation developed in early childhood as she began to notice and appreciate the arts and crafts around her house. From a very young age, her vacations were spent in her grandparents' farm, which helped develop her creativity and acquire a special sensitivity for the landscape and nature.
