10th Anniversary Exhibition
Presented by Washington Sculptors Group and Sandy Spring Museum.

Sandy Spring, Maryland 20860

EXHIBITION DATES: Sunday, September 20, 2026 - Sunday, November 8, 2026

HOURS: Museum grounds are open to all from dawn to dusk. Free admission.

JUROR: Maria Gabriela (“Gaby”) Mizes

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

This is the tenth edition of ARTINA, an annual outdoor sculpture exhibition at Sandy Spring Museum . Artina 2026, Ripples of Ten Years, celebrates that history while looking forward. Artists are invited to create a living, dynamic landscape — ever-changing with sunlight, weather, and the movement of visitors.

Jeff Chyatte Memorial Award: $500 “Best in Show” selected by the juror.

Artist Honoraria: There is a $150 per artist honorarium.

Artists are invited to explore:
Reflection and refraction: how sculpture can mirror, fragment, or distort perception.
Time and transformation: how sculptural materials can create ephemeral, mutable experiences, echoing a decade of evolving practice.
Multiplicity and dialogue: mirrored and refracted surfaces as metaphors for the many voices, artists, and ideas that have shaped the Artina series.
Future-oriented imagination: using sculptural media to bend light and flow to suggest possibilities beyond the present moment.

Self-guiding maps of the exhibition will be available at Sandy Spring Museum and on the websites of WSG and SSM. Exhibition cards will be distributed to WSG, SSM members, and the community. Promotion of the show will be actively pursued.

ABOUT THE JUROR
Maria Gabriela (“Gaby”) Mizes is originally from Argentina.
