Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Check the events page for the next listed reception (the next one is Saturday, November 14, 2026, 3 to 5 pm, at 6401 Germantown Avenue), or sign up for the newsletter to hear about new shows..
What to expect
Shows are held in historic houses and sites, and an opening is a few hours long. Past events included artist talks, walks and family days. The site does not say how long a show stays up or what the visiting hours are, so check the events page for each show before you go.
Tips for your first visit
- Look up the venue address on the event listing, since shows move between historic houses and sites.
- Ask ahead about visiting hours, because the site does not list them.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Shows, openings and some free events are listed publicly, and the newsletter is a clear way to hear about them. There is no membership or volunteer route on the current site, and the site does not say whether every opening is open to walk-ins..
