Gallery B to Showcase Local Artists in May Exhibit

Bethesda's Gallery B's May exhibition features work by local artists, as well as a collaborative piece to be sold for charity.

Gallery B’s May exhibition includes pieces from seven local artists who, in addition to their individual works, will contribute to a group piece to be auctioned off during the month.

The exhibition, called “Seven Variations and a Conversation,” features seven artists from Dupont Circle’s Foundry Gallery: Fran Abrams, Nancy Donnelly, Naomi Taitz Duffy, Judy Gilbert Levey, Donna K. McGee, Robert Wiener and Patricia Zannie.

Several of the contributors are from the area; Levey is an oil painter from Bethesda, Abrams works on polymer clay out of Rockville and Wiener is a Washington, DC, native who owns a private art glass studio.

As part of the exhibition at Gallery B (7700 Wisconsin Ave., Suite E, Bethesda), the artists collaborated on a group piece, called Conversation, which will be auctioned off for charity. The proceeds will go to Edgemoor Children’s Center, a day care service for children ranging from 8 weeks to 5 years old.

The gallery’s hours are noon to 6 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays. Additionally, the opening reception will take place on Friday during the monthly Bethesda Art Walk, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
