Exhibition
Art Between the Creeks

September 27 - October 27, 2024
McNasby's Great Room

Nine local artists who reside between Back Creek and Spa Creek combine their talents in one great show.

How the Show Came to Be

In 1992 painters Cindy Fletcher Holden, Simeone Coxe and Sculpturer Monroe Hall held a rogue art exhibit in a warehouse in Annapolis. The art exhibit was called "Warehouse of the Refused" named after the 1700s French painters exhibitions called "Salon of the Refused."

Interest in the trio of artists Fletcher Holden, Coxe and Hall, was so great that two more shows were added over the years. Since that time Coxe and Hall have relocated out of the area.

In 2000 Cindy Fletcher Holden and Cheryl Jersey began to discuss ways to revive and update "Warehouse of the Refused." After many phone calls and over a year of planning Cindy and Cheryl's revival of the art exhibition began to take shape. With exhibition space provided by Annapolis Maritime Museum the art exhibit seemed doable, giving local artists a chance to present their artwork to the public.

Cindy chose artists with varying artistic styles. The one common denominator running through the show is that all of the artists live within blocks of one another, and live between two creeks—Spa Creek and Back Creek...Art Between the Creeks.

The show includes

• Painters Cindy Fletcher Holden, Elizabeth Dax, and Lucinda (Cindy) Cole Semans
• The maritime drawings and paintings of Howard Rogers
• The painted furniture of Barbara Lacy
• Photography of Lisa Masson
• Mixed media and paintings of Michael Matthews
• Sculpture of Barbara Beck
• Sherri Bramlett, who will show her paintings as well as her specially commissioned "Architectural Dog Houses"
