Washington, D.C., native Tomika Arnold is an international Christian, R&B, gospel, jazz, and classical music performer. The songwriter/singer, author, and business owner is also a member of the Songwriter’s Guild of America. She’s been accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music, and the only all-Steinway community music school in the world. Her sound is unique, melodic, and controlled, and her voice is soulful, sultry, and soothing. Come out for a drink and listen.

Not.Alone pulls inspiration from jazz, hip-hop, and soul music to create a musical chimera that moves as freely on stage as it does on wax. The group aims to spread the message “that you are not alone,” empowering listeners through relatable stories of enduring personal struggle, managing insecurity, and overcoming conflict to become greater people. Xactli Xperience, a hip-hop, R&B, jazz, funk, rock ‘n’ roll, folk music, and duo from the DMV plays what they love so that they love what they play. Listen in and enjoy the experience.

Book and Film Discussion: Their Eyes Were Watching God

BRENTWOOD ARTS EXCHANGE PRESENTS

Noir Auteur: A Film Series Curated by Dawne Langford

Zora Neale Hurston, an evocative writer of the Harlem Renaissance and fierce advocate of her people’s culture, has left a rich heritage of story and artistic creation for us to cherish and enjoy. Their Eyes Were Watching God, a novel and film, will be the focus for two evenings as we consider Hurston’s place in American literature and discuss her depiction of African Americans’ ordinary lives and use of Black dialect which set many in her community of artists and thinkers on edge. Come join us!

In Celebration of Black History Month, renowned Washington, D.C. filmmaker, historian, and curator Dawne Langford has assembled three gripping films that define black arthouse cinema that questions the status quo and has developed concurrently with European films in the same genre. Largely suppressed and under-recognized when released, Ms. Langford will explore this legacy and its importance through this series.

Be On the Lookout!

In the days ahead, be sure to be on the lookout for artwork appearing on both a temporary and permanent basis at M-NCPPC sites throughout Prince George’s County and beyond. Temporary exhibitions from Prince George’s artists will be featured at select sites, including Kentland Community Center, Prince George’s Publick Playhouse, and the Wayne K Curry Sports & Learning Center, among others. A feature for the year is an annual exhibition, which will be held at The Maryland House of Delegates in Annapolis, Maryland from Monday, January 6 through Monday, April 6. On a more permanent basis, the Arts and Cultural Heritage Division collaborates with the Park Planning and Development Division to commission and fabricate public artworks that are custom designed, in collaboration with community stakeholder input, to be installed at various sites. Some works are placed on the interior of a site, and others on the exterior. Current sites under development for permanent artwork placement include Peppermill Community Center, the Southern Area Aquatics and Recreation Center, and Harmony Hall Regional Center. Be on the lookout for more to come!

THE GUARDIAN

ART AT SAARC

The Artist Judy Sutton Moore is the artist who created “The Guardians,” an imposing 22-foot steel sculpture posted at the Southern Area Aquatics and Recreation Complex (SAARC) in Brandywine, Maryland. The inspiration for this

outdoor work is the majestic 150-year-old specimen willow oak tree on SAARC’s site. Using an actual leaf that had fallen from the tree, the artist fashioned the design concept that developed into “The Guardians.” Another of Judy’s outdoor sculptures, “The Butterfly Tree,” is a favorite at the Southern Regional Technology and Recreation Complex in Fort Washington. Originally from Texas, Judy has been a long-time resident of Silver Spring, Maryland where she has both her home and her studio.

WB&A Trail

ashington, Baltimore & Annapolis (WB&A) Railroad began operating in February 1908. At the time, it was a state-of-theart interurban rail line with electric trains traveling as fast as 70 miles per hour. Stops along the trail were located at Bowie, Lloyd, Highbridge, Hillmeade, Bell, Randle (Glenn Dale Hospital), Lincoln, Buena Vista, and Cherry Grove. Despite the fact that the railroad was rarely profitable, service was excellent. It was fast and on time. In 1909, a Washington to Baltimore round trip ticket cost $1.25 and travel took only 65 minutes oneway. Ridership peaked in 1918 during World War I, when the railroad had 33 scheduled trips from Washington to Baltimore, carrying 5.9 million riders a year. The Great Depression took its toll, however, and the WB&A ceased service in August 1935. The tracks were removed shortly thereafter.

Black History Program

Darnall’s Chance was built in 1742 for a wealthy Scottish merchant and entrepreneur named James Wardrop. The house, a 15-room Georgian mansion, was the mainstay of a dwelling complex that included eight brick outbuildings, a rare underground brick burial vault, ornamental & vegetable gardens, an orchard, and livestock. Following Wardrop’s death in 1760, his widow Lettice Lee married medical pioneer Dr. Adam Thomson and later Revolutionary War patriot Col. Joseph Sim. Museum tours highlight the similarities and differences between Lettice Lee and the lives of other 18th century women gentry, middling, and enslaved. Museum exhibits and gift shop on premises. Grounds and tented patio available for rental functions. Tented patio (available May-Oct.) Capacity: 125 people.

Resident Registration and Fees The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission policy gives priority to Prince George’s County residents during program and class enrollment; it also increases registration fees by approximately 30 percent for non-residents, or those living outside Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties. This procedure ensures that the citizens who fund these programs through their tax dollars have the first option to enroll. After the priority registration period, registrations are accepted from residents of all jurisdictions. The fee schedule applies to all Commission programs and facilities in Prince George’s County, with a few exceptions such as performance tickets and historic site admission fees. *NOTE: Full payment is due at registration unless a class or program has a scheduled payment structure i.e. Kids’ Care, Trips & Excursions. Need help? Email the Customer Service Help Desk at CustomerService@pgparks.com.

You are a masterpiece and every work of art needs a strong, beautiful frame! Weight training sculpts your physique, accelerates fat burning, and builds bone density while minimizing the risks associated with osteoporosis. Our class changes your body composition as you use weight machines to target specific muscle groups. You will increasingly gain self-confidence, selfawareness, be empowered, and stay healthy through this program.

“Meditation in motion” is how health experts describe Tai Chi -- an ancient form of exercise for balance, stretching, muscle tone, and flexibility. Incorporate deep breathing along with these gentle, flowing, focused movements into your exercise program for better overall health and the relief of stress. Sometimes the ancient way is the best way! Laurel-Beltsville Senior Activity Ctr

Annual Black History Month Exhibition

The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment which guarantees and protects the right of women to vote. In honor of this historic milestone, the Annual Black History Month Exhibition looks at the history of black women in the fight for suffrage and beyond. From black women leaders in the antebellum suffrage movement to the election of the first black woman as County Executive in Prince George’s County, this exhibit explores the multiple ways that black women have engaged in electoral politics before and after gaining the right to vote. Looking at both the local and national levels, this exhibit uncovers and celebrates the myriad roles black women have played in the arena of politics from organizers and strategists to party leaders and officeholders, all in spite of societal limitations placed upon them due to their gender and race.
