Greetings From Sylvan Park – Lana Cosic (2025)
on view in the Elkins Gallery
Greetings from Sylvan Park is the inaugural exhibition of the Elkins Museum: a visual love letter to the neighborhood and community that made the museum possible. The exhibit offers an affectionate cartography of Sylvan Park, featuring a collection of ten hand-drawn portraits of beloved neighborhood landmarks presented in ornate, golden frames.
Depicted in these illustrations are: Billy’s Corner, Edley’s Bar-B-Que, Headquarters Coffee, McCabe Golf Course, The Produce Place, Rhino Booksellers, Richland Creek Greenway, Richland Park Library, Richland Park Tennis Courts, and Star Bagel.
At the center of the series, a single mirrored frame invites viewers to see themselves as part of the collection.
As the first exhibition at the Elkins Museum, Greetings from Sylvan Park sets the tone for the institution’s mission: to celebrate the small and relational. Like the museum itself, the work is sincere and gently surreal, intentionally framing the familiar as something precious.
The Elkins Museum maintains an active and growing exhibition of contemporary artworks, selected through various curatorial processes. To inquire about the collection, propose an acquisition, or express interest in a particular work, please contact our curatorial team.
The Elkins Museum is committed to supporting the livelihoods of artists. Select works may be available for purchase through our artist-partner program. Pricing is determined in dialogue with the artist and the curatorial team.
