Post 375: An Art Reception at Open Space Arts

An Art Reception at Open Space Arts

Friday, July 28, 2023 6:00pm  An art reception was held last night at Open Space Arts at the gallery at Stonebridge Shopping Center in Woodbridge, Virginia. Art receptions are great ways to 'announce' a new art show now-on-display-opening and for the public to not only see the show, but meet the artists that have artwork in the show.

Military and First Responders Show

The current show is called "For Those That Serve" which honors those in the military and our First Responders. Most of the art on display reflects the title in a variety of ways.

Many thanks to PWAS artist member Otis Stanley for taking the pictures as seen below.

PWAS is a growing art group and I am still learning the names of the new members! Welcome to the group! In trying to put the name to the members and their paintings above, I hope we have matched up correctly. If you see room for improvement, let me know!

  2. Considering the forecast of bad weather the reception turnout was impressive. The art is amazing and the live musical performance and food were an added treat. Great to view the work of so many new PWAS members.
