Creative Metal Design
Creative Metal Design is dedicated to connecting with and inspiring others through our design and fabrication. Our work is driven by a fascination with the endless manipulations of metal as a medium, and we are constantly seeking new techniques and approaches to expand our repertoire. Whether we are working on a large-scale public sculpture or bespoke commission, we strive to create work that is visually striking and thought-provoking. Creative Metal Design is a group of experienced fabricators, makers, and artists, with a vast knowledge of materials and techniques.
Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET)

MET and its Founders Tad Janes & Gené Fouché have spearheaded the growth of MET from an improv troupe of young comics called the Comedy Pigs who performed in the back of local Frederick, MD bars in the late 90’s into a community stronghold.   From a humble beginning, both the theatre and the community it serves, has grown significantly over the course of 20+ years.

DISTRICT Arts

DISTRICT Arts is dedicated to representing the work of local, regional and nationally recognized artists whose styles and techniques evoke the modern world through the dramatic use of color and form. Paint, ink, glass, clay, digital art, paper, wood, mixed media and sculpture are all represented. The juxtaposition of the designs and themes on our walls and pedestals with the surrounding centuries-old historic spires and buildings in Frederick, MD illustrates that contemporary can honor tradition. A walk through downtown Frederick will bring you by many fine galleries.

Karin Birch
I work in a hybrid medium of painting, embroidery and beadwork combining the authority of painting and the articulation of drawing in the form of densely detailed abstractions. These  highly imaginative vignettes use expressive color and pattern as subtext in the unfolding play of order and chaos. My current body of work, Surface Tension explores the nature of time, beauty and groundlessness.

Her watercolor batik paintings are inspired by the natural world around her and express the beneficial relationships between plants, pollinators, and people.
