Lockhouse Gallery: Bringing Art and Community Together in Historic Brunswick, Maryland
Nestled in the heart of the charming river town of Brunswick, Lockhouse Gallery is bringing a vibrant blend of art, community, and creativity to Frederick County. The gallery showcases an eclectic mix of paintings, jewelry, and fine crafts, with works by both well-established and emerging artists. Whether you’re a fan of traditional art or love contemporary, abstract, or impressionistic pieces, Lockhouse Gallery has something for everyone.
The gallery offers a diverse selection of artwork in various sizes and price ranges, ensuring there’s something to suit every taste and budget. It’s not just about purchasing art; it’s about creating a space where the community can come together to relax, enjoy, and discuss art. Lockhouse Gallery aims to host engaging programs such as artist talks, regular exhibit receptions, collaborative events with local businesses, and an annual plein air festival.
Founder Kimberly Yourick, a passionate artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Metalsmithing from Washington University in St. Louis, has always been committed to the belief that art plays a vital role in mental health, purpose, and meaning. After spending years studying painting and immersing herself in the art world, she’s on a mission to make art accessible and enjoyable for everyone. “I want Lockhouse Gallery to be a place where people can come in, take a deep breath, and enjoy the art without feeling any pressure to buy or to know anything about it,” says Kimberly. “Whether you’re a seasoned art lover or a first-time visitor, we want you to feel welcome and inspired.”
Lockhouse Gallery’s location in downtown Brunswick is no accident. Kimberly has long admired the town’s rich history, scenic views of the Potomac River, and its vibrant biking community. After years of searching for the perfect space, she is thrilled to be part of the downtown revitalization and to contribute to the local cultural landscape. “I’m so grateful for the support I’ve received from the City of Brunswick and the Brunswick Main Street program,” says Kimberly. “Brunswick has such a unique energy, and I’m excited to be one of the only commercial galleries in Frederick County. It’s the perfect place to bring art and community together.”
One of the gallery’s standout features is its commitment to showcasing artisan jewelry, multimedia work, and fine woodworking—art forms that are rarely seen in the area. As both a metalsmith and painter, Kimberly is passionate about curating these unique pieces and bringing local artists to the forefront.
Lockhouse Gallery is more than just a gallery; it’s a space for conversation, creativity, and connection. Whether you’re here to admire the work of established artists or discover a hidden gem, Lockhouse Gallery invites everyone to be a part of the vibrant Brunswick arts scene.
