Art Week in Woodbridge, Virginia
Two art shows this week and two art receptions. Open Space Arts at Stonebridge opens Wednesday, May 3 - June 18 and the Spring Tall Oaks Art Show for the Prince William Art Society artists is on Saturday, May 6 10-4pm. One art reception is past, one is upcoming. An artist's work is never done.
Art Receptions and Art Shows
The week started on Sunday, April 30 with an art reception at Art at the Mill in Middleburg, Virginia. Although a rainy weekend (much needed), the rain reminds us of the saying "April Showers Bring May Flowers" and it does! The art show title at Open Space Arts goes by that saying with a full-on floral art show.

Sunday evening and into Monday at Open Space Arts was spent checking all the art into the gallery that was juried in from the 51 artists selected to appear. Monday afternoon was the hanging of the art. A lot of art. All sizes and types of art. Then tweaking the art. Then the volunteer hanging folks label all the art.
Somehow the thought of the stockings were hung by the chimney with care - but more like the artwork was hung by the volunteers with care, in the hopes that the visitors would soon be there...

And coming up this weekend - An art reception at Open Space Arts 15000 #140 Potomac Town Center, Woodbridge, VA from 6-8pm. This is our largest art show thus far so come meet the artists and see what they do!
Also, extended hours at the gallery on Friday and Saturday evenings will begin shortly. The Stonebridge Shopping Center is such a marvelous place to dine then walk about and enjoy, so make a point to stop in at the gallery too.
And in Lake Ridge, the Prince William Art Society's annual Spring Tall Oaks Show will be held Saturday, May 6 10-4pm at
Tall Oaks Community Center 12298 Cotton Mill Dr. Woodbridge, Virginia
That's on the corner of Hedges Run and Cotton Mill off Old Bridge Road where the Giant Shopping Center is. We believe in supporting the arts and enjoying the art created my artists local to us all.

Here are some pieces of my art work that are displayed and from "hanging out" at Open Space Arts Monday, May 1, 2023. Art Prints are now very much featured at the gallery as well and is often a great price point to begin when collecting art by artists you enjoy. Green dots symbolize that prints are available for that piece of art. Click on the image for a larger view.
