Post 260: Bee Festival Saturday, June 25, 2022

Bee Festival Saturday, June 25, 2022

The second annual Bee Festival took place Saturday, June 25, 2022 on the grounds of the Liberia House in Manassas, Virginia. The Manassas Art Guild (MAG) had 2 tents up and the members enjoyed the day having their art up to be seen by the many visitors.

"Save the bees + pollinators. Plant native! Dress like a pollinator. Costume parade, waggle dance, Food, mead, music, farm animals and more! Presented by: City of Manassas Beautification Committee" - From the Prince William Chamber of Commerce

Bee Day in Images…

The real stars of the show - the actual bee hives on the Liberia House grounds. Also note the artwork on the bee hives...I admire the folks in Manassas for their fantastic creativity and work at making the arts such an important part of their communities in everyday life at every opportunity.

Landing pad

Mini horses, goats, a big rabbit, a pig, chickens and more

So many dogs! Unofficial dog show in progress...big ones and wee hot dogs

Liberia House was built in 1825, and once had a very famous visitor

A beautiful day in June in a fantastic setting, the Bee Festival was a fun day! Made even better when wearing bee antennae!

Post 215: Small Works Show and Sale at Creative Brush Studio in Manassas

Creative Brush Studio Small Works Show and Sale in Manassas, Virginia

Today, November 28, 2021, the Sunday after Thanksgiving is now called "Artists Sunday". We have Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Artists Sunday and Cyber Monday - all geared toward the big Christmas gift-giving push and countdown to December 25. 

Artists Sunday in my opinion, is the more enjoyable one. Sure, the art is for sale, but it is also free to view and admire the art presented by local artists - ALL over the country. Here in Prince William County, many of our local art groups, art galleries and shows are getting the word out to support the arts, small business, and shop local - a great combo.

Celebrate the Art at Creative Brush Studio

Creative Brush Studio, located at 8951 and 8953 Center Street, Manassas, Virginia 20110 and online at

http://www.creativebrush.com/smallworks/index.html is now displaying art by approximately 35 artists - called "Small Works Show and Sale". Meaning that all the works are under 11x14. 

I have 2 paintings at this show! The Small Works Show is on until December 24 - but get by there as soon as you can - the treasures are for sale after all, and your favorite may get sold!

My small 6x6 "A Slice of Cherry Pie" is above.

Taking a photo does not do the art justice. You have to see it in person to truly enjoy the experience that is art.

Today is Artists Sunday

Artists Sunday, the Sunday after Thanksgiving (Nov 28, 2021), is dedicated to supporting local artists and recognizing the impact they have in enriching our lives, communities, and the economy. Consumers are encouraged to shop with local artists, creators and makers and purchase creative, handcrafted items and artistic experiences for the holidays. Artists Sunday follows Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, prior to Cyber Monday. Supporters include thousands of individual artists, economic development agencies, commercial galleries, and non-profit organizations across the country, making Artists Sunday one of earth’s largest art events. Participation is free. To learn more about Artists Sunday and promoting commerce with artists, please visit http://ArtistsSunday.com/

Post 208: After the Art Show: Fall Gallery Walk Manassas, VA November 5, 2021

Fall Gallery Walk in Manassas, Virginia

Manassas, Virginia has a First Friday celebration each month that was apparently hit hard during 2020 and some of 2021 but it picked right back up again Friday, November 5th, 2021 with artists and art groups strategically placed all about Center Street in Manassas, Virginia. Follow the balloons to see the art, and they did.

LOTS of people came out to see and have fun that evening from 6 to 9 pm and many came by CenterFuse where the Manassas Art Guild (MAG) members were set up with their art. It was a great evening meeting and talking with the visitors that came by (and to buy) art from the artists on display. 

And me, with my mini paintings
