The juried exhibit “small wonders” opens Friday at the Capitol Arts Network Gallery in Rockville, showcasing works measuring 12 inches by 12 inches or smaller from regional artists. As part of the exhibit, “A Stitch in Time Saves Nine” will spotlight 21 miniature assemblage sculptures by Roanoke, Va., artist Page Turner, utilizing women’s dress forms and garments hand-sewn from antique sugar, flour and salt sacks, personal objects, and domestic tools housed under bell jars and glass domes. Growing up in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia in a devout Mormon household, Turner was taught domestic traditions and skills from women in the family and community. Each of her sculptures is a totem of a specific woman who helped to forge Turner’s identity. An opening reception is set for 6-9 p.m. Friday. The exhibition runs to Nov. 25. Also opening Friday will be the Washington School of Photography’s “Ethiopia From the Heart,” featuring guest photographer Andarge Asfaw of Washington, D.C., and “I Will Win — The War,” a presentation of a painting about love and peace by internationally renown Dutch artist Erik Van Loon. The painting is Loon’s ninth in his “I Will Win” series for the New York City Marathon. For more information, visit www.capitolartsnetwork.com.
