Visual Arts
Visual Arts Programs
Whether it’s watercolors, bronze, video, or new technologies—we are devoted to creating opportunities for visual artists to develop their work and present it to audiences. We encourage participation in the visual arts in all forms, for County residents to discover the wealth of talent around them, and for those who want to try their hand at the visual arts for the first time to do so in a safe, creative environment.
The Arts and Cultural Heritage Division presents visual arts exhibitions in numerous locations throughout Prince George's County. Information about current exhibitions in all locations can be found in our events calendar. To see information about exhibitions in the Divisions four arts centers, please visit our art centers' pages on this site.
Visit our Public Arts page to see the art we've helped place in our communities.

Virtual Exhibitions
When the COVID 19 pandemic closed our doors in 2020-2021, we continued to present exhibitions at our sites - virtually - to support artists and to show the world that the arts are essential. While our doors have reopened, we continue to share videos of select exhibitions at our sites as a means of heightening accessibility to and interest in the arts around Prince George's County.
The exhibitions are listed in chronological order, oldest to newest.
