Congratulations PWC Artists and an Invitation

What's next on the art radar at Open Space Arts (OSA)? This February's art show called "African American Visions and Voices" running from February 1 to 26, 2023.

Congratulations to the 24 juried artists listed below that have been selected for the February 1-26 art show "African American Visions and Voices" at Open Space Arts at Stonebridge Gallery.

What's Upcoming at the OSA Gallery and PWAS? 

These may be easier to see on a PC than a smartphone but see the right side navigation called "Open Space Arts at Stonebridge 2023 NEWS". The Call for Art and the known dates for the various art shows are listed. Pending means that the specific dates are not set in stone as yet, plans may be TBD (To Be Determined).

What's coming up for the Prince William Art Society (PWAS)? See also the "PWAS Upcoming Art Shows, Exhibits, and More" in the right navigation of the blog. The meeting dates are noted for each month as well as known (annual) art events that the PWAS members take part in. We are hoping to add MORE to the list as we explore options for art displays in libraries, special exhibits, businesses, etc.

I'd like to point out again that art on display at the OSA gallery IS juried. Art shows sponsored by the Prince William County Arts Council (PWCAC) will not necessarily have a Call for Art (3 times a year) while the remaining 9 months will have a Call for Art. PWAS specific art shows, exhibits, popup shows are typically NOT juried unless noted.

For many artists, especially those that create in mediums that take a long time to create and cure, like Oil painting for example, I will try to keep the lists updated as best I can from the OSA Committee and PWAS for specific dates and times.

  • I'd love to hear from you on local art opportunities that we can post here. If you have a link, start and end dates, pertinent info - even better. Let the Board know too!

Save this blog in your favorites and check back often!

Of note also: the Amazon Smile program will be ending in February, so get those art purchases in QUICK in order to donate to PWAS!
