ABOUT the Exhibition: Inspired by the paintings in the hallways of Tatem!

“Finding Estelle” is a unique art exhibition that celebrates the life and work of local Frederick County artist, Estelle Schutz. After her donation, Schutz’s story disappeared within the Hood College art collection for nearly two decades, Estelle’s beautiful and captivating artwork has finally been rediscovered. This exhibition is a journey of rediscovery, showcasing Estelle’s incredible talent, artistic vision, and life’s story that had been forgotten. Join us in the Hodson Gallery to uncover the legacy of this lost artist and reimagining her impact on the local and national art scenes and gender roles within Twentieth Century art. “Finding Estelle” is a tribute to the enduring power of art and the ability to find beauty in unexpected places.
