When Open Space Arts First Opened
Open Space Arts is celebrating one full year of being open, the anniversary date is Saturday, April 2, 2022. What you might not know is that the Prince William Art Society were actually invited to show art in the space the weekend after Thanksgiving, 2021. The art gallery was such a success on that weekend in November, that we were invited to keep the gallery open through the first few weeks of December 2021 as well.
The Beginning of a Gallery
While the Prince William Art Society (PWAS) members were all volunteering in the gallery, Otis Stanley also set up a canvas at the front of the space and invited children to paint along with him...So did you ever wonder what happened to that painting?
This is the painting that was started when we first opened OSA, by children that came in with their parents. I entitled it Sarah and the Sheep Clouds. - Otis Stanley

ReplyDeleteThis was such a great idea- to have a painting that visitors could help with. Thank you, Otis.
