The Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County (AHCMC) is pleased to celebrate the opening of The Shape of Things to Come with a public reception at the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery and Music Room on February 1, 2019, from 6–8 p.m. The Shape of Things to Come features contemporary sculpture across materials by noted Montgomery County – based artists: Shelley Picot, Gretchen Schermerhorn, Amare Selfu and Vidya Vijayasekharan. These four artists have innovated and transformed the traditional materials and techniques of sculpture to produce forward leaning artworks. Their art responds to contemporary issues dealing with politics, environment, and attitudes.  

“We are excited to kick-off 2019 with inventive new work by local artists in Montgomery County,” says Suzan Jenkins, AHCMC CEO. “It will be interesting to see how each sculptor’s unique perspective of current affairs sparks constructive dialogue among members of our diverse community.” 

The Shape of Things to Come is curated by Amina Cooper, AHCMC’s Public Art Manager. Opening reception is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be on view February 1 through April 5, 2019. Tickets can be reserved at https://theshapeofthingstocome.eventbrite.com
