Hear the Monuments at Strathmore – A Night of Art, History & Epic Storytelling

On Sunday, October 6, 2024, Strathmore will present Hear the Monuments, a deeply moving and immersive experience that blends art, history, and storytelling through a captivating outdoor installation. Held at Strathmore, 5301 Tuckerman Lane, North Bethesda, MD, this event will begin at 6:00 pm and promises to be an unforgettable evening filled with powerful narratives and mesmerizing visual projections.

As part of Strathmore’s Monuments series, this installation transforms the trees into living, sculptural monuments, showcasing large-scale, night-time projections of honorees whose stories have made lasting impacts on their communities. Every evening from September 6 to October 6, 2024, these breathtaking projections light up the trees from dusk until 10 pm, inviting audiences to connect with the personal journeys of these extraordinary individuals.

More than just a visual spectacle, Hear the Monuments is a celebration of legacy, community, and the human spirit. The voices of the honorees—each chosen for their meaningful contributions—will echo through the space, sharing stories of perseverance, creativity, and impact. As the night unfolds, these narratives will transform the natural landscape into a living testament to the people who have shaped our world.

For attendees, this is not only an opportunity to witness an innovative fusion of art and technology but also to engage in a communal experience of reflection and celebration.
