Collages, Sculptures and Pictures of 'Marilyn'
[Excerpt]
Lovers of the visual arts will be busy this weekend. Galleries in Bethesda and Logan Circle open their doors for coordinated receptions on Friday and Saturday nights showing off a ton of local talent. Want to check them out? Read on for interactive maps of the areas and tidbits about some of the artwork on display.
Artomatic may not have risen again completely, but small gallery shows in Bethesda this month bring back much of the free-for-all spirit. Several galleries along the Bethesda Art Walk from 6-9 p.m. on Friday night show off works by artists who were selected from an open pool organized by Artomatic. Matt Sesow's work -- which our colleague Lavanya Ramanathan called "Basquiat-esque" not too long ago -- will be on view at Creative Partners Gallery along with the work of five other artists.
