The historic Mansion at Strathmore in North Bethesda will now be known as the Trawick Mansion at Strathmore following a major donation from longtime supporter, philanthropist, and former Strathmore board chair Carol Trawick.
According to Strathmore, the donation is the largest individual gift in the organization’s history and will establish an endowment to support the Mansion’s programming, maintenance, operations, and administration. The funding will help preserve the historic property and its role as a destination for performances, art exhibitions, community gatherings, and educational experiences.
Built in 1902, the Mansion opened to the public as an arts venue in 1983. Today, it hosts Music in the Mansion concerts, Artists in Residence performances, rotating exhibitions in the Mansion Galleries, Afternoon Tea, and the Shop at Strathmore…
