Post 338: Artist Inventory Sale and OSA May Art Show

Artist Inventory Sale and OSA May Art Show

A date change for the Artist Inventory Sale in Manassas this weekend and the artists juried into the next Open Space Art Gallery Art Show for May. The reception for the May show is SATURDAY, May 6, 2023 at 6:30 for this, our largest art show so far!

Artist Inventory Sale in Manassas

Several PWAS members will have spots at the Manassas Artist Inventory Sale in downtown Manassas on SUNDAY, April 23, 2023. The date for this show was changed because the weather on Saturday is reported to be BLAH. Although held under the Harris Pavilion (9201 Center St, Manassas, VA 20110), who wants their art out in a down pour, right?

This is a very nice show to be in and to visit, run by a local artist Mike Flynn, and it is held twice a year, in the Spring and the Fall. Come out for a visit on Sunday between 12 and 4.

Open Space Arts Gallery "April Showers Bring May Flowers" Art Show

PWAS and OSA (Open Space Arts) are celebrating our largest art show yet to be held in the gallery! We are especially excited for this show! 

"Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own." — Charles Dickens

The OSA jurors have been busy viewing 354 art works submitted by 54 artists. We selected 206 beautiful works from this group to showcase at Open Space Arts Gallery from May 3 - June 18, 2023. The show is called "April Showers Bring May Flowers" with the art reception for this show held on Saturday, May 6, 2023 at 6:30 pm. This should be a big event for the gallery and ALL our artists and PWAS members are requested to attend.

Please join us as we celebrate the remarkable artistic images of flowers, growing things and the Spring weather that will be on display. If you LOVE supporting the arts, especially LOCAL art, and have a spot on your wall open for something artistically special, come by the gallery!

As you know, "the early bird gets the worm".
