“Multifarious” an Exhibition of Photography and Artwork by Artist Mary Paul Barnaby @ Eastside Artists’ Gallery (1pm-5pm)

The Solitary Figure: Drawings and Sculpture by Homer Yost @ Gaslight Gallery
A beloved sage in the vibrant Frederick, MD art community, Homer Yost has been drawing and sculpting for more than four decades. His work is a love affair with the human form, the classical subject of artists for centuries. Narratives about his personal world and the larger world are conveyed in the subtle gestures or posture of his subject. He describes his work as “figurative humanism,” and captures more than a representational likeness. He captures the essence of their spirit in drawings and sculpture.
UpCycle Sunday: Print Your Own Wearable Art @ Grasshopper Print Shop
Experience silkscreen printing and up-cycle your thrift store finds into works of art – bring your own garments and cloth and print bold graphic images on them. All images were inspired by the Labor Movement, which was initiated to empower workers to unionize and fight for their rights against corporate greed.
Sunday Artwalk Showcase @ Potters’ Guild
The Potters’ Guild of Frederick will be highlighting work by their newest members, Janet Capra and Martha Sherman.
Janet is a long-time member who has returned to the gallery. She is showing work featuring layered glazes producing unique effects on pieces fired in an electric kiln. Martha’s work features intricate textures on functional and decorative pieces.
