Post 477: PWAS Online Art Gallery Store

PWAS Online Art Gallery Store

The Prince William Art Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization made up of local artists living in and around Prince William County, Virginia. PWAS is the oldest art group in PWC with currently over 70+ members. Our website features an online Art Store with art showing from some of our members.

PWAS History

The art group began in 1971, beginning as the Woodbridge Art Guild (WAG) and later changing their name to the Prince William Art Society, and called PWAS for short.

Support Your Local Artists

The artist members of the Prince William Art Society are all local and talented artists that are very diverse in mediums used as well as areas of interest and art subjects. If you've been to any of the art shows listed above in Lakeridge, Manassas, Nokesville, Gainsville, and Occoquan, you may very well have seen some artwork created by some of the PWAS artists. The PWAS Art Store is ever growing, so check out the art found there as the store grows.

Prince William Art Society's Online Art Gallery Store

All of the PWAS artists are asked to send one art piece with all the pertinent info to Store@PrinceWilliamArtSociety.com to be included in the store. It's easy to help promote and to purchase the art pieces there, click on the image and notice the WhatsApp, Facebook, X/Twitter and Pinterest are clickable to create posts to those social sites. Be logged in to your account to make it even easier.

To purchase art, simply click on "Add to Cart" button and the store works much like any other online store that you purchase things from. An email verification is sent to the Buyer for print out and the artist is notified that their artwork has sold and he or she will contact the Buyer to arrange pickup or drop off. Get a picture with the artist too at handoff! (Note the pieces already sold!)

Check out the PWAS website to learn more about the art group and to shop local - supporting the artists in Prince William County.
