About Southern Maryland Decorative Painters
The Southern Maryland Decorative Painters ("SMDP") is a group of approximately 50 painters who get together regularly to paint, share ideas, teach and learn from each other. SMDP also paints to serve the community. [Currently we paint ornaments and decorate one of the Hospice Trees in either St. Mary's, or Calvert County, as well as donate regularly to area food banks]
Our Chapter was established in 1996 by a few men and women who wanted to promote decorative painting in Southern Maryland. The Club is based in Charlotte Hall, MD, and meets monthly at the Charlotte Hall Library, 37600 New Market Road, Charlotte Hall, MD 20622. Currently, we are the only Chapter in Southern Maryland, and our members come from the surrounding Maryland counties of Charles, Calvert, St. Mary’s, Prince Georges, Anne Arundel, and even as far away as Montgomery County. SMDP has members who come paint with us from Northern Virginia, Delaware AND New Jersey too!
SMDP is a not-for-profit local Club whose mission is to promote decorative painting. Our annual dues are just $20. As a member of SMDP you can broaden your knowledge of decorative painting through classes and seminars, build new friendships, be involved in community service projects and share your passion to paint with others.
If you love to paint, or would like to learn to paint, please contact us. We’d love to have you as our guest before joining, and we’ll be sure to make you feel welcome when you decide to join us!
