Prince William County Artists Got Skills!

Open Space Arts at Stonebridge

Did you know Woodbridge has a new art gallery?

 

Where? 15000 #140 Potomac Town Center, Woodbridge, VA open Wednesday to Saturday 12-7 and Sun 12-5

 

If you are stopping in for a bite at one of the wonderful restaurants or doing a bit of shopping at Stonebridge - just up from Wegmans, between Ulta and the Loft - next to the new Barnes and Noble, tucked in across the street from DSW - this is where this surprise is. Come by and step in...to enjoy all of the artwork - paintings, photography, glass works and more by the very talented artists that come from all over Prince William County. Say hello to the folks manning the desk - ask them which art is theirs because many of them do have art up. You are invited to stroll around and relax, then vote for your favorite piece. 

 

Open Space Arts began in November and December of 2021 with the artwork of Prince William Art Society members and then JBG Smith, the management of the space, along with the Prince William County Arts Council, asked the PW Art Society to come back in April 2022 and expand the gallery out to include the entire county. 

 

And that is what we did. This is the 4th art show in 4 months and it is growing! As more artists find out about the gallery, and more people learn that there IS art scene in PWC, we can continue to provide this experience. It is important to support the arts, in all its forms. And these artists have skills!

 

Sneak peek?  

Much better in person and up close and personal. Come by and see the gallery. Sure, all the artwork is for sale, and some art prints may be available for some of the pieces on display too. But as the commercial says - just experiencing the artwork, priceless! We just LOVE to see people say, "Wow!" when a piece fascinates and connects with them.
