  1. Congratulations to the organizers of "A Walk Through Ghana". The entire Prince William County community and beyond came out to support this grand exhibition opening event. The drummers
    called attention to this event and drew people to the Open Space Arts gallery. The photography by Kwadwo Birkorang Adjea is spell bounding and captured the imagination of all that passed through our doors. The fashions of the performers greatly enhanced the experience. The singing chorus had all moving in harmony and the tasty treats were well received. The marketplace was busy and offered authentic fashions and other items that still awaits all to discover. The youth dancers was a delight and highly appreciated by the tremendous turnout of visitors and guests.
    Open Space Arts has firmly established itself as a place of excitement, surprise and discovery in the arts community here in Prince William County. Please join us for all future events.

    1. I especially enjoyed the children - both the dancers and the mini drummers. The fashions - yes, they were awesome. Quite beautiful really. It was an awesome reception.
