Juried Group Exhibition

August – October 2024

FAC Gallery at 1 North Market St

Frederick, MD 21701

Dwellings is a group show of art related to the theme of “home,” a concept rich with meaning that encompasses identity, location, time, and quotidian nuances.

About the juror: Liana Owad is an artist working with traditional and contemporary mediums to create sculptures and works on paper. Her work explores the domestic space and addresses the ideas of comfort and confinement in the home. She focuses on certain objects from the home or habits of routine daily life in her sculptures, prints, and drawings. Owad received her MFA in 2014 from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and her BFA in 2010 from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania.

This exhibit will be on view at the FAC Gallery from August 17 through October 22, 2024. The reception was held August 31 from 1-3pm.
