Since 2018, Wheaton Arts Parade has operated an art gallery in Wheaton as part of its mission is to bring the community together with art and to help Wheaton realize its potential as an Arts & Entertainment District. Gallery operations are supported in part with a grant from the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County. WAP is currently looking for a new location in Wheaton to reopen its gallery.
Meanwhile, WAP is collaborating with the Compass Art Center in Kensington to operate WAP Gallery 2 featuring artwork by 2 WAP Gallery associate artists for 2-month exhibits. As always at the WAP Gallery, the artists receive 90% of all sales proceeds.
The current exhibit features the work of local artists ArtbyDustine and Mygenet Tesfaye Harris.
We hope you will visit the gallery in person. WAP Gallery 2 is located on the 2nd floor of the Compass Art Center at 10335 Kensington Parkway, Kensington, MD. You are invited to two public receptions during this exhibit on July 19 and August 16 from 6pm - 8pm. Light refreshments will be served.
The WHEATON ARTS PARADE mission is to bring the community together with art, to support local artists and to celebrate Wheaton’s diverse cultures.
