Join MAA for a visit to the contemporary Glenstone Museum in Potomac, where "everything is quietly spectacular, with curated views to the outdoors that present nature as visual haiku," says The Washington Post.

Glenstone is a place that seamlessly integrates art, architecture, and landscape into a serene and contemplative environment. Guided by the personal vision of its founders, Glenstone has assembled 1,300 post-World War II artworks of the highest quality that trace the greatest historical shifts in the way we experience and understand art of the 20th and 21st centuries. They include paintings, single-artist installations, video installations, sound installations, and both indoor and outdoor sculptures. The works are presented in a series of refined indoor and outdoor spaces designed to facilitate meaningful encounters. See what's currently on view!

Following our self-guided visit, members are invited to gather at the Museum cafe for a beverage and snack.

Cost: $5 for members.  Members may bring 2 additional guest for an additional $5 each.  

Cancellation policy:  Cancellations with refunds permitted through May 10; after that date no cancellation refunds will be granted.  

What to expect: Glenstone Museum encompasses two buildings, several outdoor sculptures and nearly 300 acres of landscape. To fully experience Glenstone, visitors should be prepared to spend considerable time on foot, and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. The parking lot is a seven-minute walk to the pavilions. A few additional things to keep in mind:

•  Photography is not permitted indoors; outdoor photography is allowed for personal use only.
• Sketching is permitted with pencils only.
• The entire property is smoke-free; the use of tobacco products and e-cigarettes/vaping is not permitted.

When to meet: Our tour begins at 12:00 m sharp. We recommend parking your car no later than 11:45 am to give yourself time to walk from the parking area to the main entrance (5-7 minutes). 

Getting there: Glenstone is at 12100 Glen Road in Potomac, Maryland. Parking is limited, and members are strongly encouraged to carpool or take a bus. The Montgomery County Ride On bus makes several daily stops at Glenstone on its 301 route.

Special Event: Talk with Philippa Pham Hughes

MAA is pleased to announce that Philippa Pham Hughes will be joining us for a talk Monday, June 2, 7-8pm at the Kensington Park Library (4201 Knowles Ave, Kensington, MD 20895). 

Philippa Pham Hughes is a social sculptor who has been designing space for connection and conversation since 2007. She will share her framework for repairing the social fabric one conversation at a time using the transformative power of art and relational thinking. Mark your calendars for this special visit and read on to learn more about Philippa.

Philippa Pham Hughes is a social sculptor, educator, speaker, and writer. She was recently a Social Practice Resident at The Kennedy Center, currently a Visiting Artist For Arts & Civic Engagement at the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and a Lecturer at the Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. She is a contributing author on art and civic engagement in the forthcoming book, “An Empathy-Building Toolkit For Museums.”

She applies relational thinking and an aesthetic of care and delight to her work in democracy building, civic engagement, and repairing the social fabric of our country one creative conversation at a time. Philippa draws from the arts and humanities to design spaces for honest conversations across political, social, and cultural differences. She has produced hundreds of creative activations since 2007 for people who might not normally meet to engage with one another in unconventional and meaningful ways.

She also curates multi-disciplinary art exhibits & experiences. These relational experiences build social capital, social cohesion, and social discourse. She is a curious and lateral thinker whose multi-disciplinary practice is informed by sociology, psychology, philosophy, political science, history, community organizing, design thinking, creative placemaking, art, and humanities. Philippa speaks about harnessing the transformative power of art to strengthen human connection, repair the social fabric, increase civic engagement, and promote human flourishing.

She has spoken widely, including SXSW, Cato Institute, TEDxAmericanUniversity, Davidson College Center For Civic Engagement, University of Michigan's Penny Stamps Speaker Series, Art & Democracy Day at Hopkins Bloomberg  Center, Fort Worth Women's Policy Forum. Her work has been featured by artnet, CNN, NPR, PBS Newshour, CityLab, and The Washington Post. Philippa’s mission: to create a society in which all humans flourish.
