Glen Echo Park

Glen Echo Park Glen Echo Park is one of the finest cultural resources in Montgomery County. It is home to 14 resident artists and organizations, a thriving social dance program, a restored 1921 Dentzel Carousel, numerous art studios and galleries, and hundreds of classes in visual and performing arts, including ceramics, painting, photography, glass, music, dance, and more.

These activities, as well as free summer concerts, festivals, and special events, bring thousands of visitors to the Park each year.

current arts program. In 2002, the National Park Service transferred management of the Park’s arts and cultural programs, as well as its historic buildings, to Montgomery County, which in turn created the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture, a nonprofit organization, to oversee the Park.

From 2003 to 2010, extensive renovations of the Park’s facilities took place under the direction of Montgomery County and the National Park Service with input from the Partnership and resident organizations. These renovations were funded with major federal, state, and county resources as well as private donations. Renovations included the Spanish Ballroom, the Dentzel Carousel, the Puppet Co. Playhouse, the Arcade building, the Yellow Barn, Adventure Theatre, the Candy Corner, the Chautauqua Tower, the Ballroom Back Room, and the Caretaker’s Cottage. The Hall of Mirrors Dance Studio was renovated in 2014.

The site was first developed in the 1890s as a Chautauqua retreat but soon became the premier Washington area amusement park, serving the community until 1968. In 1971, after the amusement park closed, the federal government acquired the land in order to preserve the Potomac Palisades and prevent development along the river. The management of the Park was assigned to the National Park Service, which established the core of the

DRAWING, PAINTING & CRAFTS

The Young Creative Spirit is the Children’s Art Center residency at Glen Echo Park. Coordinated by artists/ instructors Katherine T. Andrle and Denise Dittmar, the center’s goal is to serve the community by providing art instruction to children and to broaden their appreciation of the world by giving them an outlet for creative expression. Every child has both a tremendous visual awareness of the world outside and a wonderfully imaginative inner eye. The program encourages children to trust in their own interpretations and uses a wide variety of media to expand their experience. Small classes, taught either online or in the Crystal Pool Studio, serve ages 6 through 12, and focus on the individual. Early registration is strongly encouraged. Instructors and students are required to wear masks indoors at the Crystal Pool Studio.

We will use Sumi ink, bamboo brush, and rice paper to explore oriental art. Sumi ink will encourage students to express their creativity, and appreciate the simplistic yet graceful form of art. We will focus on learning different brushstrokes techniques, textures, and blending to draw flowers, animals, landscapes. All materials JIN JEONG for ink drawings or ink painting will be provided.

ON THE WINGS OF A MARIPOSA

by Alvaro Saar Rios, directed by Elena Velasco September 16, 2022- November 6, 2022. A Regional Premiere.

On The Wings of a Mariposa follows ten-year-old Pilar as she uses a scarf filled with her grandmother’s scent to relive memories of her beloved abuelita—making corn tortillas, dueling the monsters under the bed and journeying to the forest known as El Círculo Mágico. As time passes, the scent fades and with it, Pilar’s memories. Convinced she will lose her abuelita forever, Pilar attempts to recreate the scarf’s scent. When unexpected results occur, mother helps the young girl understand “when you love someone, they never really leave you.” Based on Barbara Joosse’s children’s book “Ghost Wings,” On The Wings of a Mariposa is set amidst the monarch butterflies’ annual migration and Day of the Dead.

With original music from composer Dinorah Márquez.

ADVENTURE THEATRE

THE GIFT OF NOTHING Adapted for the stage

by Patrick McDonnell, Aaron Posner, and Erin Weaver, with music and lyrics by Andy Mitton December 9, 2022- January 29, 2023

Featuring the characters of Patrick McDonnell’s MUTTS comic strip, and faithfully adapted by McDonnell, Aaron Posner and Erin Weaver, The Gift of Nothing tells the story of Earl the enthusiastic pup and Mooch the curious cat.

Today is a special day and to celebrate, Mooch has decided to give Earl a present, but can he decide on what to give the dog that has everything? This little gem of a show teaches children that the joy is not in the gift, but in the act of giving.

Adult & Teen Visual Arts & Music Just Getting Started: The Way of the Pencil

ALLA PRIMA ART CLINICS

$160

This “alla prima” (at first attempt) painting Art Clinic really gets to the heart of what representational painting is, just pieces of color on a canvas. Yet when the color is accurately mixed and placed next to other accurate pieces of color, the paint vibrates and tricks the eye into believing the marks are more than just paint. This workshop stresses application paint and color mixing to get an accurate painting the first time. An excellent Art Clinic for those who need practice mixing and “seeing color”.

For years, drawing has played second fiddle to painting. This Art Clinic lets drawing stand on its own without being merely a prerequisite to a painting.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

This holiday, join Washington Revels for a homegrown celebration of the Winter Solstice that honors our shared American roots. Our 39th annual Christmas Revels production follows the Scots-Irish migration to the mountains of Appalachia, where the community gathers to celebrate “Old Christmas”. As the new families arrive, they are invited to share their traditions and trade melodies, creating a rich quilt of music, dance and story, both ancient and new. Fiddle tunes, traditional dance, and rituals like the Scottish “Hogmanay” intertwine with folk songs and ballads, shape-note hymns, African-American spirituals and more, in this high-spirited American céilí!

National Park Service

Glen Echo Park 301.320.1400 nps.gov/glec For over a century, Glen Echo Park has welcomed residents of the Greater Washington Area. The park’s history of change, though, has led to tension as Chautauqua dreamers, amusement park thrill seekers, and National Park Service preservationists sought to adapt to the needs of current visitors. This affected not only the architectural styles of the buildings, but also the landscape-everything from walkways to parking lots to lighting.

Edward and Edwin Baltzley, in 1891, hoped to entertain and educate the District’s urban populace in a National Chautauqua while preserving the site’s rugged natural beauty. The amusement park owners thrilled visitors with exciting rides. Finally, the National Park Service (NPS) and the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture have collaborated to provide the public with appealing artist studios and arts spaces while preserving the Park’s diverse history.

NPS works closely with the Partnership to preserve the cultural resources at Glen Echo Park. Over the years, this has involved determining whether to preserve, rehabilitate, restore, or reconstruct historic structures. After 130 years, all that remains from the Baltzleys’ Chautauqua of 1891 is a solitary stone tower which is now the restored stone tower, home to the Stone Tower Gallery and artists’ studio. But their idea of a premier green space where visitors could refresh and restore themselves has thrived as a vibrant cultural community to this day.

As we uncover the last one hundred years, we will learn of the civil rights protests to integrate the segregated Glen Echo Amusement Park that began with a sit-in on the carousel in 1960. We will learn of the heyday of the amusement park during the streetcar era, the closing of the amusement park in the sixties and the efforts to save the carousel and bring the park into the National Park System in the 1970s. We will also see pictures of the beautiful carousel animals carved by William Dentzel’s carousel company that have now all been carefully restored.
