Each year, Annmarie invites guests to help create a community art installation in honor of a dream. This year’s project will be HeartFelt: A Give & Take.
Stop by Annmarie Garden and create a beautifully adorned heart on our clothesline display. Use a prompt to create a heart with a positive message, or start from scratch. Use your creative ideas to embellish your work.
Annmarie Garden supplies varied materials to make your creation your own: Felts, yarns, glues, glitters, buttons, beads, threads and more. This is a Give & Take project: make a heart to leave for others, then take a finished heart created by a stranger to keep as a reminder that good, kind people are all around us.
Stop by often to see how the display changes as hearts are created and traded among our guests.

January Exhibit: Artists In Action: Artists in their natural habitat—Jan. 17 – March 3, 2015
Annmarie’s spectacular Main Gallery will be transformed into artist studios, providing a serene retreat and experimental space for artists to develop new works, display and sell their work, to network with other artists, and to share their creative process with visitors. Come observe artists as they work in their temporary studios at the Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center. Visitors can watch, learn, interact and ask questions and even in some cases, become engaged in the project. All artists have been asked to create a hands-on experience for guests. Some options include inviting guests to experiment with your materials and/or process, or to design a collaborative work of art that guests will help create. For additional information call 410-326-4640.
