The annual Lend a Hand charity art auction is here and bidding is open! Swing by the shop or check out The Muse’s Facebook Album titled Lend a Hand 2020 to see all of this year’s wonderful contributions, and bid by calling us or stopping in to the shop. All art auction proceeds will benefit local conservation nonprofit Stream-Link Education! Each year, artists Courtney Prahl and Whitney Dahlberg partner with The Muse to come up with a theme around which the public creates small works of art. Canvases needed to create the art are purchased at The Muse, which then exhibits the completed artworks and sells them during a silent auction. The full proceeds from the sale of canvases, as well as the auction, are donated directly to a local non-profit. Each year, the organizers choose a different charity, and this year, they are excited to partner with Frederick environmental non-profit Stream-Link Education for the Lend A Hand auction. Lisa Baird of Stream-Link explains that the organization’s mission is “to connect community to conservation through educational and meaningful volunteer tree planting experiences to instill environmental stewardship values and improve the health of our rivers and streams”. To bring this mission […]

DISTRICT Arts presents “Have Brush, Will Travel”, original watercolors by Margaret Huddy. Huddy and her husband love to travel the world, with Margaret stopping to paint at outdoor cafes, park benches, on a moving train or on a rock by a mountain stream. Not only are the finished works far superior to a photograph but also allow Margaret to slow down and really see a place, absorb the color and atmosphere as well as often meeting the local people. This exhibition runs from October 1 – November 1 and is free and open to the public. Visit DistrictArts.com for gallery hours. To maintain the safety and health of our visitors, we require that masks be worn at all times within the gallery. Masks must cover both mouth and nose. In addition, occupancy will be limited to 10 visitors at a time with social distancing observed the visits. www.districtarts.com/have-brush-will-travel

Experimental fingerstyle guitarist Yasmin Williams, featured on NPR! [rescheduled from July 31 rainout] Live with limited capacity* from the open-air Sky Stage. Fingerstyle guitarist and composer Yasmin Williams hails from Woodbridge, Virginia. Her music has been described as unorthodox, modern, refreshing, relaxing, and unique and has been called some of the most imaginative guitar music out today. She utilizes various techniques including alternate tunings, percussive hits, and lap tapping to great effect. Williams was to debut at the famous SXSW festival this year before it was sadly cancelled due to the pandemic. Very recently, her NPR Tiny Desk Contest entry was picked as a favorite by Brittany Howard of the Alabama Shakes on a program with NPR’s Bob Boilen, and she was featured on New Sounds’ “Soundcheck” podcast. ‘Williams’s music transcends the standard idea of what a guitarist should do.’ – NPR Music yasminwilliamsmusic.com *Masks required for ages 5+. Under 12 free. Beer/wine available for purchase for 21+ with valid ID. More info here.
