The Arts Council is a Riderwood Administrative Advisory group. We maintain galleries of resident art in Lakeside Commons, Montgomery Station, and Village Square. We sponsor new exhibitions three times a year.

Our Mission
The art exhibits contain works by the residents and staff of Riderwood for the enjoyment of the Riderwood Community.
We solicit all forms of visual art from residents and staff; the submitted artwork is curated from a jury of art professionals from outside the Riderwood Community. The exhibits rotate to galleries in all the clubhouses throughout the year.
The Arts Council also sponsors Artist Receptions, Art Talks, Art Walks, and educational exhibits placed at various locations around campus.
For more information about Arts Council contact Kathy Brennan, artscouncil@riderwoodlife.com.
