Strathmore in Bethesda has a special art exhibition, Strathmore Unleashed!, that is a canine-tastic art exhibition that’s gone to the dogs! It focuses on dogs — and all the memories and emotions they evoke—depicted in sculpture, painting, mixed media, design, photography and video.
There is a special opening reception with a yappy hour this Thursday, May 3 for free, reservations are not required. Guests are invited to bring their well-behaved dogs to yappy hour in the Mansion from 6:00-7:00 p.m., and the opening reception runs from 7:00-9:00 p.m.
