Art Around Town: Exhibits You Won’t Want To Miss
Written by Kaitlin Hill
As fall settles into winter, art exhibits worth seeing are popping up all over town. We’ve rounded up what’s on display starting this month, each show perfect for a cozy outing with friends and family or for a solo stroll and even shopping.
30 Years of The Byrne Gallery
The Byrne Gallery is celebrating 30 years in business and Yuri Gorbachev’s 22nd exhibit with Susan and Bill Byrne. Gorbachev’s oil and enamel paintings will be on display from November 4 through December 30. A portion of the sales from the exhibit will be donated to families in Ukraine through the International Rescue Committee (IRC) for Ukrainian refugees — even more reason to stop by and celebrate with Gorbachev and The Byrne Gallery.
“Rose Marie Bogley: Elegance Aside”
Running from November 7, 2025, to March 22, 2026, in the National Sporting Library & Museum’s Forrest E. Mars, Sr. Exhibit Hall, the display will showcase Rose Marie Bogely’s archives, which were recently donated by her daughter, Hilleary Bogley, and the Rose Marie Bogley Revocable Trust. The donation includes photos and awards collected by the local equestrienne over six decades. A selection will be on display in addition to Rose Marie’s portrait by Richard Stone Reeves and other objects of importance on loan from her family. Many of the photographs feature Rose Marie’s travels and portraits of her with notable figures like Mamie Eisenhower, Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter, and even Rose Marie playing golf with professional golfer Sam Snead.

Plenty to See at the Museum of Hounds & Hunting North America
MHHNA will have three noteworthy events in November and beyond. Though finishing its run on November 9, there is still time to see the work of Heather St. Clair Davis, on loan from the private collection of Matthew and Wingate Mackay Smith.
Later in the month, Cathy Zimmerman returns to the Museum of Hounds & Hunting North America’s Middleburg location on November 14 through December 28. In addition to the exhibit, Zimmerman’s art will be for sale, just in time for holiday shopping.
Speaking of shopping, MHHNA will also have a Fine Equestrian Jewelry Trunk Show on November 22 and 23 from 12 to 6 p.m. The show will feature designer Lisa Harris of Savenac 1821.
