Glen Echo Park

A Note From the Partnership Dear Friends, Welcome to our Spring-Summer 2022 Classes & Events catalog! We have resumed our pre-pandemic model of publishing two catalogs per year, so this covers March through August 2022. Our catalogs will remain digital-only, which means interactive, more efficient, and easy to register for classes. We are thrilled to offer some creative new adult arts classes, including Photography: History, Technology, Aesthetics (1830-2022) with Photoworks; Puppetry: Game Night for Adults, and Puppetry for the Camera with the Puppet Co., and a new series of small group Art Clinics and new Printmaking Workshops with Stone Tower Studio. Enchanting productions from our two award-winning children’s theaters – Adventure Theatre MTC, and the Puppet. Co. – continue in person through the spring and summer, and we welcome the return of Tiny Tots performances at the Puppet Co. for our very youngest audience! Of course, we can’t talk about Spring-Summer at Glen Echo Park without saying a few words about camps! And if we do say so ourselves, our camps are the perfect way to encourage your budding artist. From Spring Break Camp to Summer Camp programs, there’s something for your aspiring artist or performer. Spring Break camps are offered from April 11-15 and feature a selection of half-day and full-day camps, such as Spring Break Adventures in Glass; Teen Silversmithing; You Write Rumple: Puppetry Spring Break Camp, and several others (page 7). Summer brings a broad array of camps to the park, in visual arts, performing arts, and nature & aquatic life, from June 20 through August 26. This year will feature some of our favorite camps, as well as some exciting new ones. Your camper may be interested in Adventure Theatre’s two week Summer Musical Theater camp, Glen Echo Park Aquarium’s Sensational Sharks camp; Washington Conservatory of Music’s Intro to Rock Guitar camp; Photoworks’ The Basics of Film Photography for Teens camp – and so much more. We offer an after-camp program, too. We will, of course, adhere to all health and safety protocols to ensure a fun and safe summer! (page 3) As the Glen Echo Park Partnership celebrates our 20th anniversary of bringing creative and diverse arts and cultural programs to our community and beyond, we hope you will join us for our terrific line-up of Spring and Summer events. These include: Carousel Day (April 30), the 40th annual Washington Folk Festival (June 4&5), the Gala in the Park (May 14), Outdoor Art Marketplace, Summer Concerts, and more! You can still watch our virtual programming, including online exhibitions, virtual concerts, video-based activities for kids, online activities from our children’s theaters, and more on our YouTube channel. And you can always find out what’s happening on our Stay Connected webpage. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the financial support of the community in order to present high-quality, affordable programs. We hope you will join us in supporting the Park with a one-time or monthly donation. We invite you to create, collaborate, and connect with Glen Echo Park this season! Stay well and creative,

Katey Boerner, Executive Director

Glen Echo Park

Glen Echo Park Glen Echo Park is one of the finest cultural resources in Montgomery County. It is home to 14 resident artists and organizations, a thriving social dance program, a restored 1921 Dentzel Carousel, numerous art studios and galleries, and hundreds of classes in visual and performing arts, including ceramics, painting, photography, glass, music, dance, and more. These activities, as well as free summer concerts, festivals, and special events, bring thousands of visitors to the Park each year.

current arts program. In 2002, the National Park Service transferred management of the Park’s arts and cultural programs, as well as its historic buildings, to Montgomery County, which in turn created the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture, a nonprofit organization, to oversee the Park. From 2003 to 2010, extensive renovations of the Park’s facilities took place under the direction of Montgomery County and the National Park Service with input from the Partnership and resident organizations. These renovations were funded with major federal, state, and county resources as well as private donations. Renovations included the Spanish Ballroom, the Dentzel Carousel, the Puppet Co. Playhouse, the Arcade building, the Yellow Barn, Adventure Theatre, the Candy Corner, the Chautauqua Tower, the Ballroom Back Room, and the Caretaker’s Cottage. The Hall of Mirrors Dance Studio was renovated in 2014.

The site was first developed in the 1890s as a Chautauqua retreat but soon became the premier Washington area amusement park, serving the community until 1968. In 1971, after the amusement park closed, the federal government acquired the land in order to preserve the Potomac Palisades and prevent development along the river. The management of the Park was assigned to the National Park Service, which established the core of the

Glen Echo Park Carousel 100th Anniversary

Spanish Ballroom, Bumper Car Pavilion, and Ballroom Back Room

One of the greater Washington, DC area’s true treasures, the historic Glen Echo Park Dentzel carousel is the Park’s crowning jewel from the amusement park era. Installed at Glen Echo Park in 1921 by the Dentzel Carousel Company of Germantown, PA, the carousel has 52 animals, including horses, rabbits, ostriches, a lion, a tiger, a deer and a giraffe. Music for the carousel is provided by the 1926 Wurlitzer band organ. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it remains a classic example of hand wood carving popular in the early 20th century, and is one of the few remaining Dentzel carousels in its original location.

www.glenechopark.org/dances We are pleased to announce that social dances have returned in person at the Park! While not all dance styles are running again, you can visit the Dances page on our website (https://glenechopark.org/dances) to learn about upcoming swing, waltz, tango, and other dances. All dance events are conducted by presenting entities who are renting the facility, and Covid-19 precautions are in place. Information about these events and presenters’ mask and vaccination policies can be found on their websites; each dance listing in our online calendar (https://glenechopark.org/dances) includes multiple links to presenters’ websites. Please check the Glen Echo Park website (https://glenechopark.org/dances) for updates and additions to the dance schedule.).

The 20-year restoration of the carousel was completed in 2003, and the carousel building was rehabilitated in 201920 by the National Park Service, with additional funding and support from the State of Maryland and Montgomery County. We completed significant repairs to the carousel’s 1926 Wurlitzer band organ in 2011. The carousel recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. The carousel opens for the 2022 season on April 30, 2022.

National Park Service

Glen Echo Park 301.320.1400 nps.gov/glec For over a century, Glen Echo Park has welcomed residents of the Greater Washington Area. The park’s history of 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 have collaborated to provide the public with appealing artist studios and arts spaces while preserving the Park’s diverse history. NPS works closely with the Partnership 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 130 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 artists’ 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.

Hear about the civil rights protests that marched right into the carousel in 1960. Follow the inspiring story of the community’s efforts after the amusement park closed to raise money to save the carousel for future generations. And, finally, learn how the National Park Service, with donated funds, has restored the carousel to its original glory.

We will learn of the heyday of the amusement park during the streetcar era, the closing of the amusement park in the sixties and the efforts to save the carousel and bring the park into the National Park System in the 1970s. We will also see pictures of the beautiful carousel animals carved by William Dentzel’s carousel company that have now all been carefully restored.
