Since its inception in 1996, the U.S. District Court’s art program at the Greenbelt courthouse has contributed greatly to our region’s cultural environment. The original purpose of the program was to feature works by Maryland artists, but over the years it has expanded to include international art. With exhibits in quilting, photography, sculpture, and painting, the program continues to call attention to the diverse interests and creative talents of local artists and the importance of their contributions to society. The Greenbelt courthouse hosts four shows a year, with exhibits rotated every three months.  A listing of upcoming shows follows.
