Prince William Art Society - An Art Group with Galleries x2
The Prince William Art Society (PWAS) is a non-profit group of artists based in Woodbridge, Virginia. The group will be celebrating 51 years this summer and celebrating that we now have TWO galleries to show art! Many, many thank you's to Herb Williams of PWC Parks and Rec and JBG Smith - Anastasia Podorski, their Senior Property Manager for the use of Open Space Arts!
About PWAS
PWAS was formed in 1971 with the purpose of promoting the appreciation of visual art and fine crafts; gaining recognition and publicity for the work of local artists; and providing a variety of educational art programs and fine art exhibits to the Prince William community.
PWAS meets once a month on the 4th Monday of the month at Tall Oaks Community Center 12298 Cotton Mill Drive, Lake Ridge, VA 22192.
PWAS artists have the option to show their art at two locations:
Clearbrook Center of the Arts - 2230 B Tackett’s Mill Drive Lake Ridge, VA 22192. Hours: 1-4pm Saturdays and Sundays
Stonebridge Open Space Arts - 15000 Potomac Town Center, Woodbridge, VA - OPENING April 2, 2022! Hours: Wednesday - Saturday 12-7pm and Sunday 12-5pm
Some artists show at both locations, others choose one or the other.
Stonebridge Open Space Arts - all artwork will be entered via a form when the "Call for Art" is sent and juried into the gallery, and must follow the standard hanging, wiring, and presentation guidelines. Art Shows will change approximately monthly, with a plethora of art shows and events scheduled for the rest of the year.
The first Art Show scheduled will be called "Coloring the County" and will feature the artwork of artists from all over Prince William County and the members of PWC art groups. This show will open Saturday, April 2, 2022.
Area artists will be volunteering time at the gallery, answering visitor questions and possibly painting! Get to know your favorite artists and vote for your favorite art piece as "People's Choice".
For the local PWC artists, there is NO FEE to enter your art! BY THE WAY, the Call for Art for this April 2 show closes THIS Saturday, March 19. See https://artistryspin.blogspot.com/2022/03/post-121-pwas-events-upcoming-call-for.html and get your art entered ASAP!
Clearbrook Center of the Arts - PWAS has been granted the use of this space for several years now by the wonderful folks at Tackett's Mill Shopping Center in Lakeridge. John Wooten and his family have been a blessing to us all! The gallery is on the side near the pond, before The Bee Store and near the new Hector's restaurant.
The artwork is not juried at Clearbrook, but the artwork as well as prints must follow the standard hanging, wiring and presentation guidelines as above. Artwork is changed out in the gallery bi-monthly and a new theme wall option is named. The artwork changeover occurs in January, March, May, July, September, and November. There is no fee to hang artwork at the gallery but artist members will need to volunteer a 1-2 weekend days a month to help out at the gallery.
