Bethesda Maryland is a great place to live and filled with fascinating people. There are brilliant scientists here in Bethesda at NIH performing cutting edge research. We have prize winning authors and novelists. We are surrounded by history and history making events - and of course, we have world leaders too here.
But we also have wonderful art and music venues in Bethesda. No need to go to our neighboring city of Washington, DC to visit the National Gallery or the Phillips - as wonderful as they are. Bethesda has lots of art galleries with wonderful new and established artists.
You should check out the Bethesda Art Walk, which takes place on the second Friday of each month. Once a month, a collection of the Bethesda galleries showcase artwork created locally, nationally and internationally artists, including painting, photography, sculpture and mixed media. Enjoy several galleries by walking throughout downtown Bethesda to learn more about the Bethesda arts scene and featured artists.
The free Bethesda Circulator stops within a few blocks of each Bethesda Art Walk gallery, and runs continuously throughout the duration of the Art Walk.
My favorite gallery exhibition is probably Union Hardware at 7800 Wiconsin Avenue. Union Hardware is the go to store for amazing bath fixtures and decorative hardware, but it also specializes in functional art beyond the ordinary. They carry Baccarat and Lalique crystal faucets and a Samurai shower, but it is their reproduced display from the MOMA in NY that is really special.
Union Hardware has several hundred pieces designed by award winning international designers such as Roberto Palomba, Matteo Thun, Franco Sargiani, Massimilliano Settimelli, and Enzo Berti on display. You can buy a beautiful bathroom vanity and enjoy some wonderful art!
