Glen Echo, MD 20812
For the month of February the Yellow Barn Studio and Gallery, which boasts 600 members, and 40 classes per semester, will be showing off the instructors at work that make the Yellow Barn one of the premier places to take art classes in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area. Starting February 2nd, the Chautauqua Tower (“Stone Tower”) 1st floor studio, which usually houses one resident artist for one month, will display the collaboration between 14 instructors. The artists will be working on 3 large paintings in a relay style fashion; will display their unique styles and different approaches to painting. The 14 artist’s progress will be documented throughout the month with photographs that will be posted on the Yellow Barn webpage (www.yellowbarnstudio.com), Facebook, as well as YouTube broadcasted interviews. These videos will allow each artist to discuss what they are working on as well as their different approaches and impressions of painting. At the end of the month, the three paintings will be auctioned off to benefit the “Friends of the Yellow Barn,” a nonprofit organization that provides support to the Yellow Barn by bringing in visiting artists, special events as well as class room equipment. The Yellow Barn Instructors invite the public to visit the space, ask questions and bid on the final pieces.
The Chautauqua Tower Studio will be open to the public February 2nd through February 27th, Tuesday thru Sunday. A schedule of each artist’s participation will be available on the Yellow Barn webpage.
