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.
