Ch/Art finds joy in exhibit in Friendship Gallery (January 1-31)

Ch/Art (Chevy Chase Artists) continues its juried art exhibition “Finding Joy” in January in Friendship Gallery. It is especially exciting for Ch/Art members who live and work in Chevy Chase, Maryland and Chevy Chase, D.C., and surrounding area to be exhibiting in this lovely neighborhood venue. Juror Jordan Bruns, a renowned local painter and teacher, has crafted an exhibition of original artwork that evokes the feeling of joy. The show features 75 pieces of abstract and traditional paintings, sculpture, photography, ceramics and jewelry created by talented members of Ch/Art. “Finding Joy” runs from Dec. 8 through Jan. 31, 2026. Ch/Art is a 140- member community-based arts organization. Ch/art was founded in 2018 by a small group of artists who wanted to create a supportive community to collaborate, grow their art, share their work and offer the community new opportunities to engage in art making. The Village Center is open Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Art in the auditorium is occasionally not available for viewing because of activities in that room. Please call the Village Center front desk at 301-656-2797 to check the schedule for viewing art in the auditorium prior to your arrival. All sales are final.
