Kensington

Pazo Fine Art is thrilled to present In the Neighborhood: Art on Howard, a one day exhibition showcasing the works of sixteen Kensington-based artists in conjunction with the annual Kensington Open Studios event. Join us on Sunday, June 9th, from 1-5 PM at 4228 Howard Ave Kensington MD 20895.

Curated by Valentina Deshler, this exhibition features a carefully selected works from each participating artist: Damon Arhos, Jacqui Crocetta, Pam Eichner, Marta Gutierrez, Maggie Gourlay, Andrew Hladky, Hedieh Ilchi, Amanda Kates, Kristina King, Jim Maio, Megan Maher, Kasey O’Boyle, Ricky Sears, Jerry Truong, Clare Winslow, and Barbara Ziselberger. The works on display span a wide range of techniques and media, including oil and acrylic paint, charcoal, wood, handmade paper, concrete, bamboo sticks, cardboard, burlap, twine, copper wire, leaves and aluminum. These pieces explore themes such as space and place, the earth and notions of home, and reflections on the relationship between humanity and our environment.

Over the years, Howard Avenue has evolved into a vibrant center for artistic creativity in Maryland. Its warehouse infrastructure, open plan real estate, local galleries, and antique stores have fostered a supportive environment for art studios and creative networks. At Pazo Fine Art, a core aspect of our mission is to nurture artistic talent in Kensington. By upholding and expanding the legacy of Open Studios Day, local artists have a more robust platform with which to showcase their work while enhancing the cultural landscape of our community, further establishing Kensington as an active, flourishing hub for the arts.
