Post 14: More from Arts Alive Sunday, September 12, 2021 Recap 2

More from Arts Alive on Sunday, September 12, 2021

Arts Alive at the Hylton Performing Arts Center is a great place for an art show for artists and the art lovers. For several of our new PWAS members, this was their first show. It is an eye opening experience, where you learn a lot.

Successful Day in Manassas at the Show

We sold a lot of art with 8 out of 11 of our art members selling art, art prints, and/or art merchandise. From the members that have been at Arts Alive in previous years, it was said the foot traffic was the best it had ever been. 

It really is interesting and I'll say, satisfying to see people admiring you work. Watching them stop in front of certain pieces and point, and the murmuring of approval and comments are really good to hear. Like any actor or performer, I guess we like hearing the feedback just like they do.

Lots of Activities During the Day

PWAS Member Andrea Castaneda did a live paint display to music on stage. She's on Facebook so you may see her there.

Gift bags with info were given out to the visitors - info on Hylton Performing Arts Center, PWCAC, PWAS and more.

 

Of course, 4:00 comes eventually and the break down begins. Some artists do have lighter loads to repack up. It was a fun day, exhausting for some, but fun. It was lovely to be able to sit back and chat with our PWAS Team members and speak to the visitors. Actually, a LOT of visitors of all ages. It was great to see them enjoying the artwork.
