Art Exhibit: Roxana Rojas-Luzón: Paper Rhapsody
2026-03-23 - 2026-05-17
* This exhibition runs Mar. 23–May 17, with a public reception on Thu., Apr. 2. *

Roxana is a collage artist fascinated by the art of collage. She uses snippets of magazine paper, fabric, photographs, pencil drawings, raw pigments, and anything that enriches the texture and color of her images. Her goal is for each of her art pieces to awaken feelings in the viewer. Consolation, love, festivity, protection, happiness, innocence, and solitude are words that she has heard others use to describe her collages.

This exhibit will be on display at the Publick Playhouse from March 23-May 17, 2026, and can be viewed during regular facility hours (M-F, 9 am-5 pm). Please note that exhibits cannot be viewed when a performance or event is in progress. Before viewing an exhibit, please call the Box Office at 301-277-1710 to check the performance schedule.

Kimberly Margioni: Fluid Nature
2026-03-23 - 2026-05-02
* This exhibition runs Mar. 23–May 2, with a public reception on Sat., Mar. 28. *

Kimberly Margioni’s work explores the delicate balance between nature, emotion, and cultural heritage. Drawing inspiration from the world around her—the vibrant landscapes or the quiet beauty of everyday moments—she seeks to capture the essence of life in its raw, unfiltered form. Her creative process is rooted in the belief that art has the power to transcend boundaries and speak directly to the soul. Each piece reflects her travel journey, an invitation to feel deeply and connect with the universal experience of love, resilience, and transformation. As a current naval officer and mechanical engineer, she brings a unique perspective to her art, breaking from the rigidity of her day-to-day to dive into her abstract, fluid, imperfect approach with emotional depth. This creates both structured and fluid works, grounded yet ever evolving.

Ju Yun: Where You Belong
2026-03-23 - 2026-05-02
* This exhibition runs Mar. 23–May 2, with a public reception on Sat., Mar. 28. *

South Korean artist Ju Yun navigates the tension between two contrasting worlds. Transitioning from traditional Korean art to fully contemporary subjects and techniques, Yun embraces the space in between. Through layered compositions of polymer clay and found objects, their mask projects explore themes of hybrid identity—transforming existing forms into something new, reshaping meaning, and influencing others.
