Post 461: The Art Show at Tall Oaks

The Art Show at Tall Oaks

The Prince William Art Society (PWAS) hosts an annual Spring and Fall Art Show at the Tall Oaks Community Center found at 12298 Cotton Mill Drive in Woodbridge, VA and this past Saturday, May 11, 2024 was the first one of the season. Most of the day was bright and sunny, albeit a bit chilly in the shade. A great day to see some art!

PWAS Team

We had a great turn out for the show with many people stopping in to enjoy the artwork. And we also had some PWAS members stopping in to see the show too! As a team, we had a great time getting together and doing all the things that get an art show setup and run. A lot of laughs, oooo's and awww's as we appreciated each others art and celebrated each piece of art that visitors purchased to give a new home to. Plenty of folks picked up PWAS brochures so hopefully some new faces join the group in future too, we hope.

A few pictures from the day...

We love talking to all the visitors and some even like to ask about PWAS, if they are artists themselves and what their interests are.

In the show and stopping by were:

Thank you to all the artists that showed, the guys that helped with the equipment and those that set out all the signs, and by gosh all the behind the scenes things that have to happen to get a show ready, on the road and on the map. As they say, it takes a village, or in this case, a great art group!

If other participants have great pictures to add, please send them to me and I'll add them.
