Post 296: Tentative Open Space Art Show and Event Calendar

Tentative Open Space Art Show and Event Calendar

Tentative art event list at Open Space Arts because as everyone knows, often 'the best laid plans of mice and men, often go astray'. So check with the contact person or at the gallery for the latest information. 

Artists need lead time to create new art of course. An idea for artwork must be formed, then created, then cured. It all can take a LOT of time especially depending on the medium so please check the upcoming art shows so you can prepare.

PWCAC - Prince William County Arts Council
PWCPRT -  Prince William County Parks, Recreation and Tourism
OSA - Open Space Arts
CAPAC -  Creative and Performing Arts Center
TBA - To Be Announced
