Arts in the New Normal showcases more than fifty works of art from Korean-American artists living and working in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Although the Covid-19 pandemic has forced many of us to change our plans and find creative ways to adapt, there is hope that society and life can return to some resemblance of life before the pandemic. Every artist has experienced this challenging time differently and we all understand that the new normal we are looking forward to may not be exactly as before. Still, we are hopeful for days when Covid-19 doesn’t dominate the news, and gathering with friends and family isn’t considered high risk behavior. The works in this exhibition reflect that hope and those contradictions of joy and loss, of fear and strength, that each artist has shared in a unique way.

Presented by the Annmarie Gift Shop, the Ornament Show & Sale is a juried show that features hand-crafted ornaments by more than 25 regional artists. This is the perfect place to find unique and affordable gifts for friends and family. The ornaments are beautifully hung on trees displayed in the Main Gallery of the Arts Building. Visitors shop off the trees and take their purchases to the Gift Shop. The show kicks off before Thanksgiving and runs through early January. During Garden In Lights, the show is open late!

Get ready for some great holiday shopping! The Main Gallery will have a wide selection of handmade works perfect for everyone on your list. You'll find a wide selection of affordable one-of-a-kind items made with love! All artwork will be on display in conjunction with our annual holiday Ornament Show & Sale.

BUNDLE UP! Most of the light show activities are outside, including admissions, holiday pop-up shops, food & drink service, seating, and or course, the light show! The Arts Building will be open for shopping only! Join us for the most magical time of year as the grounds of Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center are transformed into an outdoor twinkling wonderland! Annmarie Garden In Lights will transport you and your family to an enchanted world full of glowing "light sculptures" and wondrous light installations. Discover magical creatures, wintery wonderlands, musical holiday scenes, deep sea treasures, sparkling trees, and so much more! You'll find sparkling delights and fun photo ops around each corner!
