The Montgomery Art Association is pleased to invite members and guests to a special late-autumn field trip to one of the nation’s premier destinations for contemporary art, architecture, and landscape design.

Nestled within a beautifully curated natural setting in Potomac, Maryland, Glenstone offers a unique museum experience where world-class contemporary art is thoughtfully integrated with architecture, sculpture, water features, and expansive landscapes. The quieter atmosphere of late November provides an ideal setting for reflection, artistic inspiration, and meaningful engagement with both art and nature.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore Glenstone’s renowned galleries, the award-winning Pavilions, outdoor sculpture installations, and contemplative landscapes while experiencing one of the most distinctive cultural institutions in the United States.

Meeting Location

Please meet at 9:50 AM in front of the Glenstone Arrival Hall (Main Visitor Entrance). We will gather outside the main entrance before entering the museum together.

Admission

Admission is free; however, advance registration and museum reservations are required. Participants are responsible for reserving their own timed-entry tickets through the Glenstone website prior to the visit.

Optional Lunch Gathering

Following the museum visit, participants are welcome to join fellow members for lunch at the Glenstone Café, which offers a seasonal menu featuring locally sourced ingredients in an elegant and relaxed setting overlooking the museum grounds.
