LA PLATA — Artwork by Jaden Hendricks, a young artist whose work the Charles County Arts Alliance has showcased before, is on view at the UMD Charles Regional Medical Center Gallery through Jan. 12, 2027. The exhibit opened Oct. 13, according to the alliance’s weekly arts newsflash, which says a virtual gallery of the show is coming soon.
It is Hendricks’s second exhibit in a gallery sponsored by the alliance, the county’s official arts council. From Feb. 7 to May 7, 2025, he had a solo show in the Commissioners Gallery in the Charles County Government Building at 200 W. Baltimore St. That gallery hosts one-person shows of about 15 artworks, each running three months, the alliance says. At the time, the alliance described Hendricks as a Bowie State University art major and a scholarship recipient.
The alliance did not provide details on the pieces now on display or a statement from the artist. The above artwork is from 2020.
A companion exhibit by Ivette Marcucci is on view at the Charles County Government Building Gallery from Oct. 14, 2026, through Jan. 13, 2027. The two artists have effectively traded venues: the alliance’s 2025 calendar shows Marcucci’s work hanging at the medical center gallery from Aug. 5 to Nov. 6, 2025, while Hendricks exhibited at the Government Building.
Both galleries are part of a program through which the alliance gives visual artists free public space to show their work. The Charles County Arts Alliance, a volunteer-run nonprofit founded in 1987, is recognized by the Maryland State Arts Council as the county’s arts council. It is at 10250 La Plata Road in La Plata. Information is available at 301-392-5900 or ccaaofficeaa@gmail.com.
The alliance also runs the county’s largest arts festival. The Chronicle reported on the Charles County Youth Orchestra’s performance at this year’s ArtsFest.
