A Note From the Partnership

CHILDREN’S CLASSES
& PROGRAMS
Dear Friends,
Summer has come and gone, and fall is in the air. As kids head back to class, this is the perfect time to remember
that school is not the only place to learn! At Glen Echo Park we offer more than 1,000 classes each year in visual
arts, social dance, music and movement, and more. This catalog is full of possibilities!
Coming up this fall, our dance card is full! We continue to offer social dances several nights a week – most with live
music – in one or more of our three dance venues: the historic Spanish Ballroom, the iconic Bumper Car Pavilion,
and the Ballroom Back Room. Dance lessons are available in tango, swing, waltz, lindy hop and other dance forms
to get you ready for your big night out! See page 79 for dance classes, and page 90 for information on dance events

and a social dance calendar. (page 92)

ADULT & TEEN
This fall, our popular SilverWorks Studio offers new “Perfect Projects” workshops, including a Secret Locket
Workshop and Bodacious Box Ring Workshop. Find these and other fun classes and workshops from SilverWorks
on pages 70-75. The Yellow Barn Studio, the Park’s resident painting and drawing program, is pleased to present
classes with three new instructors. They offer titles ranging from Expressive Painting to Colored Pencil Portraiture
to Experimental Drawing. Other offerings with the Yellow Barn include a High School Portfolio class, Intro to
Drawing, Intro to Watercolor and Gouache, Basic Painting, and Sketchbook to Studio. (page 31)
Bring the whole family to enjoy shows presented by our two award-winning children’s theaters: the Puppet Co.

the Art Glass Center will showcase new glass works, and woodturners from around the area will present recent
work in the Popcorn Gallery. In the Stone Tower Gallery, Yellow Barn Studio instructor Gonzalo Ruiz Navarro will

combining sculpture and painting. And our annual Holiday Art Show, opening in mid November, offers unique gifts

What could be fancier than Christmas? Presents with

elegant wrapping paper, festive decorations, Christmas
cookies with sprinkles-and who could forget the tree?
After all, there is no such thing as too much tinsel.
Oohlala! This year, Nancy is especially excited. After
selling some of her old gowns and accessories, Nancy has
enough money to buy a brand-new sparkly tree topper.
She can’t wait to decorate the Christmas tree. But when
things don’t turn out the way Nancy planned, will
Christmas still be splendiferous?

Glen Echo Park

301.320.1400 www.nps.gov/glec
For over a century, Glen Echo Park has welcomed residents of the Greater Washington Area to an ever-
changing venue of activities. The history of constant change though, has led to tension as Chautauqua
dreamers, amusement park thrill seekers, and National Park Service preservationists sought to adapt to the needs of
current visitors. This affected not only the architectural styles of the buildings, but also the landscape–everything from
walkways to parking lots to lighting.
Edward and Edwin Baltzley, in 1891, hoped to entertain and educate the District’s urban populace in a National
Chautauqua while preserving the site’s rugged natural beauty. The amusement park owners thrilled visitors with
exciting rides. Finally, the National Park Service (NPS) and the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture
(GEPPAC) have collaborated to provide the public with appealing artist studios and arts spaces while preserving the
Park’s diverse history.
NPS works closely with GEPPAC to preserve the cultural resources at Glen Echo Park. Over the years, this has
involved determining whether to preserve, rehabilitate, restore, or reconstruct historic structures. After 120 years, all
that remains from the Baltzleys’ Chautauqua of 1891 is a solitary stone tower which is now the restored stone tower,
home to the Stone Tower Gallery and artist’s studio. But their idea of a premier green space where visitors could
refresh and restore themselves has thrived as a vibrant cultural community to this day.

Clara Barton-Between the Bullet and the Battlefield

Miss Barton wrote: “My business is stanching blood and
feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the
bullet and the hospital.” The Civil War set Miss Barton
on a path of service, one where she endured some of
the same terrible conditions and extreme dangers as the
soldiers. This path took Miss Barton to Antietam, where
she worked as the battle raged around her. At the battle of CLARA BARTON NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE
Fredericksburg, she was the only woman working at the
front! This illustrated talk by a Park Ranger from Clara
Barton National Historic Site uses photos from the Civil
War era to explore the dangers Clara Barton faced and
the accomplishments she achieved. This free program is
available for groups of ten or more at Glen Echo Park or
at off-site locations in the Washington, DC, metro area.

registration session); an individual student and their family members may sign up for an unlimited number of classes within a single
registration.
Class Cancellations: The Partnership reserves the right to cancel classes that do not meet a minimum enrollment in the discretion of the
Partnership. Enrolled students will be notified in advance of class cancellations. Class tuition is refunded when a class is cancelled by the

Class Policies: The Partnership and its partners offer non-accredited classes and workshops to the public. Because group cooperation
is essential for a successful learning environment, the Partnership reserves the right to remove a student from a class or workshop if an
instructor believes, in his or her sole discretion, that a student’s behavior disrupts the learning environment. Students with special needs,
or their parents or guardians, should contact the instructor prior to registration to discuss any accommodations that might be needed for
successful participation in a group class.
The Partnership reserves the right to substitute an appropriate instructor when necessary and to change a program location when
needed. Please be mindful of class start and end times. Neither the Partnership nor the instructor are able to provide pre- or post- class
care, unless part of a scheduled program.
Likeness Release: The Partnership and instructors reserve the right to make recordings (by use of any media) of a student’s work, voice,
actions and/or likeness (collectively “Likeness”) and to use such recordings in promotional, marketing or other printed or electronic media
communication. In consideration of participating in the class(es), the undersigned, on behalf of herself/himself and his/her child under
the age of 18, hereby consents to the making of such recordings and releases the Partnership and its instructors from any and all liability
arising out of any recording, use or distribution of the student’s Likeness.
Release From Liability: I wish to register to participate in one or more classes offered by Glen Echo Park or to register my child who
is under the age of 18. I understand that some of the activities involve risks including, but not limited to, bodily injury, death or property
damage. I also understand the importance of following all instructions, heeding all safety warnings, and not engaging in any activity I am
not able to perform safely based on my physical condition or otherwise.
In consideration of participating in the class(es), the undersigned, on behalf of herself/himself and his/her child under the age of 18, agrees not
to make any claim against, and to release from any liability, the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture, the National Park Service,
the United States Government, Montgomery County, Maryland, the class instructors, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders,
employees and agents (the ”Released Parties”) arising out of participation in class activities, whether caused by the instructor’s negligence or
otherwise, and whether for bodily injury, death, property damage, or loss of any kind or nature, including without limitation claims concerning the
right of privacy and/or publicity arising from the recording, use or distribution of the student’s Likeness.
I certify that I understand the terms of this Release from Liability, that I am age eighteen (18) years or older, or the parent/legal guardian
of the student identified below and authorized to execute this Release from Liability on his/her behalf. This Release will bind me, my
representatives, successors, heirs, and assigns.
