Frederick County residents are invited to attend an engaging artist talk and showcase featuring Jerry Brown, the 2026 Catoctin Mountain Park artist-in-residence. This special event is scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 2 PM to 4 PM at the Thurmont Regional Library. Guests will have the opportunity to delve into the creative process of Brown, a talented watercolorist, as he reflects on his transformative three-week residency in the picturesque Catoctin Mountain Park.
During the showcase, attendees will be treated to a display of Brown’s artistic journey, which includes notebooks, field sketchbooks, and completed watercolor paintings created throughout his residency.
