It has been almost two years since Wheaton had an artist-run, non-profit art gallery. At long last, Wheaton Arts Parade opened the doors to a new gallery in the heart of Wheaton's central business district at 11325 Georgia Ave.
The Grand Opening reception drew more than 150 people to meet the artists, appreciate and purchase their art, and enjoy food and musical entertainment provided by Creative Wheaton.
The theme for the gallery's first show in 2026 was "New Beginnings" and 32 artists from the DMV participated.
Thanks to the Visual Artists who
exhibited in "New Beginnings."

Located at 11325 Georgia Ave, right below the intersection with University Blvd, the gallery is only two blocks from the Wheaton Metro Station.
The next exhibit will open on June 26. The theme is "Freedom."
Your donation helps keep the doors open to Wheaton's only artist-run, non-profit art gallery where local artists exhibit their original artwork and receive 90% of sales revenue. The low commission enables original art to be more affordable to the Wheaton community.
The gallery is supported in part by the generosity of the Leonard & Richard Greenberg families and a grant from the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County.
The WHEATON ARTS PARADE mission is to bring the community together with art, to support local artists and to celebrate Wheaton’s diverse cultures.
