Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
February 9 - March 31, 2018
Presenter: Adventure Theatre MTC Recommended Ages: All ages Location: Adventure Theatre Contact Phone: 301-634-2270 http://www.adventuretheatre-mtc.org
Alexander is having a bad day. A terrible day. A horrible day. To be quite honest, it's a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But then, everybody has bad days, sometimes. Not only does Alexander wake up with gum in his hair, but his mother forgets to pack him dessert, and his best friend decides he's not his best friend anymore. And if that's not bad enough, Alexander's brothers don't have any cavities but - he does. And just when it can't get any worse, there are lima beans for supper and - yuck!- kissing on the TV. It is enough to make anyone want to go to Australia.

Artist's Reception: Saturday, April 7, 4 to 6pm

Glen Echo Park Partnership is pleased to present I Draw the Line: Oil Paintings by Robert LeMar. In this exhibition of paintings, LeMar experiments with different approaches to outlining, while seeking to maintain a strong sense of realism. Although done entirely with oil on canvas, every painting is really about the drawn line. Color also plays a major role in the work, as it conveys light and form. Even so, it all starts with a line drawn on canvas. In this work, LeMar seeks to champion that line. Le Mar was the recipient of the Park View Artist Award at the 2017 Labor Day Art Show at Glen Echo Park.

The World in Infrared: Landscapes by Sheila Galagan
March 31 to April 29, 2018
Saturdays & Sundays, 12 pm - 6 pm
Artist's Reception: Saturday, April 7, 4 to 6pm
Presenter: Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture Location: Stone Tower Gallery Admission: Free Contact Email: info@glenechopark.org Contact Phone: 301-634-2222 http://glenechopark.org/exhibitions
The Glen Echo Park Partnership is pleased to present The World in Infrared: Landscapes by Sheila Galagan. Local photographer Sheila Galagan offers a selection of photographs shot using infrared capture, an unusual method that when printed in black and white produces striking dark gray skies and white vegetation. Galagan's photographs, mostly landscapes, are taken in local natural settings often with some man-made components. Most of her images are shot with a digital camera modified to respond to near-infrared light. There are also some images taken the old-fashioned way with black and white infrared film. Some of the digital images have textures applied to them to add a further sense of depth. The film images have been printed using the lith printing technique, which uses certain papers and chemicals to produce a similar effect to textured digital images. Galagan has taught photography in several places, including Glen Echo Photoworks and Montgomery County Public Schools. She is also a member of f11, a Women's Photography Collective, which exhibits locally.

My Camera, My Voice: Photographs by Michael A. McCoy
March 3 to April 8, 2018
Saturdays, 1 to 4pm and Sundays, 1 to 7pm
Reception & Gallery Talk
Sunday, March 4, 6 to 8pm
Presenter: Photoworks Location: Photoworks Gallery - First Floor Arcade Building Contact Phone: (301) 634-2274 http://www.glenechophotoworks.org
Born and raised in Baltimore, Michael A. McCoy picked up a camera as a young teen. It wasn't until his two tours of duty in Iraq and the loss of his mother, though, that McCoy took up photography as means of focus, expression, and escape. His instinct for light and composition combined with his curious mind and engaging personality produce tender yet powerful portraits of fellow veterans combating PTSD, individuals supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, men in barber shops, youth at play, and mother and fathers with children. In other words his portraits, and his camera, are his voice and they speak of both the struggles and the joys of life and deployment.
Michael A. McCoy's work has been featured in Time, Rolling Stone, and The Baltimore Sun. In 2017, Time named McCoy one of the "12 African American Photographers You Should Follow Right Now."
