Post 422: Art Shows Coming Up in Occoquan, Lake Ridge, Manassas, and Harkers Island

Art Shows Coming Up in Occoquan, Lake Ridge, Manassas, and Harkers Island

What a busy art season! Scattered around PWC, in Occoquan, in Manassas, and here in Lake Ridge and at Harkers Island, NC, art shows with my art as well as my art friends and group members are on display for you to see and enjoy. Here is a list of some upcoming art shows around the area.

PWAS Fall Tall Oaks Saturday, November 1 10-5

This is a biannual art show that the Prince William Art Society hosts at 12298 Cotton Mill Road, Woodbridge, VA - on the corner of Hedges Run and Cotton Mill (where the pool is and down from the Giant on Old Bridge Rd). This show is rain or shine and features lots of local artists from PWAS. I will be there too with mini art and bookcase art. You can click on an image to enlarge.

The Spring Tall Oaks Show is typically in May while the Fall Tall Oaks Show this year is in November

Manassas ARTfactory "What the Walls Remember" Saturday, October 11 - November 8, 2025

Currently running, "What the Walls Remember" is an art show at the ARTfactory that is well worth seeing at the ARTfactory in Manassas. One of my artworks called "Blood Orange" is dripping off the walls.


9419 Battle St, Manassas, VA 20110

"Blood Orange" is the painting I have at the Walls Remember Show

Manassas Gallery Art Walk Saturday, November 8 12-4 

The Fall Gallery Walk on Saturday, November 8 is all over the downtown Manassas area, and I'll be at the Sinistral Brewing Company at 9419 Main St, Manassas, VA 20110 - Look for the balloons announcing that an artist is in the shop/location. I'll have some small works and various art on display for the day. Come by and see me!!


November 2025 Laura D Jones Fine Art Gallery in Occoquan Featured Artist

At Laura Jones' Gallery at 125 Mill Street Unit 10, Occoquan Virginia 22125, I'll be the Featured Artist October 30 - Dec 1, 2025

PWAS at Autumn Art Market at the ARTfactory Saturday, November 22 12-5pm

This show at the Manassas ARTfactory is the previously named "Artist Inventory Sale" and the Prince William Art Society will have some members there showing art, including me! This was a very cool show last year when we were at the ARTfactory and we are glad to be a part of it again this year. It is a one-day art event.

December 6 Holiday Vendor Show at the Harkers Island Fire Station, NC

In December, I will be on Harkers Island at the Harkers Island Fire Station Vendor Show on Saturday, December 6 during the Decoy Festival 1219 Island Rd, Harkers Island, NC 28531. I've been showing art across the road for 2 years and loved meeting all the visitors! But this year I will be at the Fire Station across from the Elementary School which hosts the annual Decoy Festival.

I'll have artworks featuring Harkers Island marshes, Shackleford Banks and the ponies, the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, North Carolina and so much more - mini art, prints and bookcase art too!

Post 324: Piedmont Regional Art Show -The Plains, Virginia

Piedmont Regional Art Show -The Plains, Virginia

Stretching our artist wings, right? I am too. I entered the Piedmont Reginal Art Show located at Grace Episcopal Church, The Plains, Virginia which runs Friday, October 20 to Sunday, October 22, 2023. Another trek over the river and through the woods on the horizon!

Piedmont Regional Art Show

The Opening Gala is Friday, October 20 with the Sponsor's Preview starting at 5:30pm. There is a general admission fee.

On the website, it touts the 75th Anniversary, let me know if that is for the church or the art show! Inquiring minds want to know! Oh, "Alexa...?" "Hey, Siri!"

My Paintings Entered into this Show

I am always excited to enter new (for me at least) art shows and experiences. The few pictures that I have seen so far show the space looking really awesome for the art that will be showing. 

For this art show, all of the artworks are required to be framed. I don't frame many of mine, but I do have a few...

"Cape Lookout NC" is 12x24 Acrylic on Stretched Canvas. I've visited a friend at Harkers Island in North Carolina several times so far this year and you can see the Lighthouse off in the distance from her deck. 

"Mountain Path" is 12x24 Acrylic on Stretched Canvas. This painting tied for second place in the 2021 Open Space Arts Gallery at Stonebridge in Woodbridge, VA People's Choice Award

"Washington DC Cherry Blossoms" is 12x24 Acrylic on Stretched Canvas. This painting won second place in the 2023 Open Space Arts Gallery at Stonebridge in Woodbridge, VA People's Choice Award

Hope to see you there too!

Post 309: Art Girls Field Trip to Western Loudoun Art and Studio Tour

Art Girls Field Trip to Western Loudoun Art and Studio Tour 

June 2 - 4, 2023. When the thermostats rise and the big blue sky reigns, the Art Girls venture out to the thriving art wilderness of Northern Virginia to take in the Western Loudoun Art & Studio Tour. 

What Is the Art & Studio Tour?

Spread across Loudoun County in Northern Virginia are 30 studios and 2 art centers featuring the artworks of 57 juried artists. You need to break out the GPS for this adventure as you pick the route and spots to visit and be inspired by. The artists open their studios and workshops for you to visit and enjoy. 

If you spend time on Facebook or Instagram, or enter calls for art across the region, you may start recognizing the artist names and their artwork. The styles and mediums cover it all:

Ceramics
Collage
Fiber Art
Glass
Jewelry
Lapidary
Metalwork
Mixed Media
Painting
Pastels
Pen and Ink
Photography
Printmaking
Sculpture
Wood

Many "ooo's" and "wows" were uttered today. We got to visit both of the art centers and about 6-7 studios. We enjoyed them all - the talent runs deep in this art tour.

Art Girls Pose with the Artwork

As you can see, Sandra, Bettie and I took advantage of one of the artist's artwork...







The next Art Girls Field Trip...under discussion. The artwork lies thick in these lands.

Post 305: Spring Tall Oaks Art Show in Lake Ridge

Spring Tall Oaks Art Show in Lake Ridge 

Saturday, May 6, 2023 Tall Oaks Community Center - 12298 Cotton Mill Drive, Woodbridge, VA. A wonderful part of being in an art group like the Prince William Art Society (PWAS) is being able to hang out with my art friends at art shows and talking "shop", which is of course, art. That's a lot of art - literally. We do it for the love of the creativity in all of us.

Local Artists in Prince William County

Ten artists from the PWAS group were set up for the show, and we had a good many visitors for the day. 

Here are some photos of my day at Tall Oaks...






My art table - MINIS! 


My art prints, various sizes available from my art inventory


My art up on the wall


More of my art


My art group's table - the Prince William Art Society


More of my art mini's


More of my stuff, of course...


The art show was from 10 am to 4 pm - and the artists HAD to get the show closed for ANOTHER event, their art reception for the "April Showers Bring May Flowers" Show at Open Space Arts at Stonebridge, which started at 6pm! 

And what a spectacular event that was - and it was open to the public as well. Over 50 artists from PWC with art up for this show!

Photos by Otis Stanley:







If you missed the Tall Oaks Show, we will be back in Lake Ridge for our monthly PWAS art group meetings on the 4th Monday each month at 7:30pm (the public is welcome) and in October for the Fall Tall Oaks Art Show. 


You can also see our art at Open Space Arts at 15000 #140 Potomac Town Center, Woodbridge, VA for the various art shows schedule through the year. Hours: Wednesday - Saturday 12-7pm and Sunday 12 - 5pm. Note that we are also adding 7-9pm hours on Fridays and Saturdays as we have staff availability. See you at the show!
