    In Bloom: The Work of Evelyn Johns | June 30 - July 26, 2026

    Evelyn Johns creates and abstracted overview of her teenage years, painting the present though pieces that often appear as though they are already a memory, never truly reflecting what they are now. The exhibition hopes to hold on to moments in time for just a little longer with portraits painting from life, intersecting transitional places, and overarching symbols of nature and youth.

    In addition to Bruns’ own work, the Stone Tower hosts bi-annual visiting artist exhibitions each May and October, featuring artists from the Art Clinic Online (ACO). ACO is a virtual platform created to spotlight artists from the DMV area and connect them with a broader audience of art enthusiasts. The program meets every other Saturday morning for one hour, offering insights into what local artists are making and the impact their work has on the community.
