Current Upcoming & Exhibitions
A collaboration with the Carroll County Historical Society and featuring the art of Carroll County artist Ruth Aukerman As part of the Maryland 250 commemoration, the Carroll County Arts Council and the Historical Society of Carroll County present "Witness to Transformation" an exhibition focused on the theme of revolution, both in its historical context during the Revolutionary era, and in ways that connect to today.
Presented by the Carroll County Artists Guild, Nostalgia: Art in Reflection, invites viewers to step into the gentle pull of memory. Through painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media, artists explore the emotional landscape of nostalgia—capturing the warmth of familiar places, the rhythm of routine, and the fleeting beauty of moments long past. Each piece offers a personal reflection on how memory shapes our sense of self and community, transforming the past into something tender, timeless, and alive.
