Glen Echo Park Partnership Galleries presents 100 Years in the Present, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Park's iconic Dentzel carousel. This exhibition honors the historic origins of Glen Echo Park as a theme park--exploring feelings of nostalgia, outdoor recreation, nature, and play. A year unexpectedly spent indoors has reminded us what we miss about gathering, particularly outdoors, and how we're looking forward to engaging when the time is right. This exhibition invites the audience to reminisce about childhood fun and outdoor play. It also invites viewers to ponder: "How will we remember our present-day leisure in the future? What outdoor spaces do we miss the most? How can we 'travel' in our own city? How do we interact in the present as vessels of time and space? How do we honor symbols of memory and belonging?"

This exhibition features local Metro DC-based artists exploring these themes.

This exhibition by the Washington Sculptors Group and curated by Laura Roulet, has an underlying theme of the cycle of life, death and rebirth, the ephemeral springtime beauty of Glen Echo Park and the Washington region is very much in evidence. Our environment is both celebrated and investigated. Some artists examine the fleeting opportunity of remediating climate change, noting that the window of effective environmental response may have already fled.
