Deck Your Halls Art Show at Open Space Arts

Have you been by to the see current art show called Deck Your Halls?

Where: 15000 #140 Potomac Town Center, Woodbridge, VA

When: the show runs until Jan 1, 2023. The gallery is open Wed - Sat 12 to 7 and Sun 12 to 5

Who: the artwork is by all local Prince William County artists!

Why: well, art is awesome for the soul!

While at the gallery yesterday, a visitor remarked, "I love coming in here, it is so relaxing...its peaceful."

There are lots of great reasons to support the arts. Among them are the strengthening of the economy, improve academic performance, unify communities, higher social impact, spark creativity and innovation and the improvement of individual well-being. If that isn't inspirational enough, perhaps this note is:

Most artists make the bulk of their annual income in October, November and December to help support themselves and be creative for the rest of the year.

Open Space Arts Gallery

You will find many different types of art at OSA. Acrylic paintings, oil paintings, watercolor works, mixed media, photography and various forms of photo art. From realism to abstracts and a lot in between - and you will find many different price points. Not all artwork is out of your budget!

AND we even have a Christmas tree decorated with handmade art from our artists too!

OSA has a different show approximately every month and many events, workshops, and other interesting things on the calendar making a trip to the gallery a more than once trip to do. This Sunday, December 11 from 3 to 5 the gallery is hosting a music event in the gallery called Christmas Caroling with a Gospel Twist featuring gospel artist, evangelist Beverly Johnson and My Praise, My Worship Music Group. And with the acoustics built in to the gallery, just a big WOW!
