The PWAS Artistry Spin Blog is happy to post the PWAS Members art shows and events, individual or group shows every month. Each PWAS Member is welcome to send me info of any art event they are showing in, if you let me know some details... hey, it is FREE promo for your show! Let's see who has a show coming soon for you to check out!

Go see the shows!! Tis the season for some art shows, so the PWAS members should be filling up their dance cards!

PWAS Member Donna Liguria

I've applied to several art shows but its a question for a couple of shows on IF any of the artwork is selected by the jurors. I've applied to these so far: 

1. 75th Annual Fredericksburg Fine Art Show at the Dorothy 408 Canal Street, Fredericksburg, VA Friday, March 20-22, 2026

2. Spring Art at the Mill at 15 Tannery Lane, Millwood, VA Art selections and delivery takes place in March but the show itself is April 18-May 3, 2026 https://www.clarkehistory.org/art-mill.html

3. Annaburg Manor 9201 Maple Street, Manassas, VA has a deadline of March but the show itself is April 24-26. 

4. I'm also giving the Teravarna Online Fine Art Gallery a try this go around, at https://www.teravarna.com/ for the Animal Show deadline Feb 28, 2026. We'll see how that goes.

Samples of what I submitted around town: 

Lightning Strikes 12x24 

African Violets in a Terracotta Pot 10x10 

Koi Pond 1 11x14 

Mahogany Humidor 8x10 

Bluebells by the Banks 12x16 

 As always, the artist pays the fee then sits and waits to hear their fate.

Potomac Valley Watercolorists (PVW) will be hosting their "2026 Online Members Exhibition" from March 1 - April 30, 2026.  In this exhibit you can view a wide variety of high-quality art created with watercolors and other water-based media.  Please visit the PVW website at:  https://www.potomacvalleywatercolorists.org

PWAS Member Bettie Sperty

Yep- 'tis art show season! As for me -

Some of the pieces that will be showing up in some places:

Pink Gladiolus  8”x10”  oil 

Row Your Boat  20”x20”   Acrylic

Sunset on the Bay 10”x10”  Acrylic on wood panel
Hugh Manatee  10”x10” Oil on wood panel

1. I will be the featured artist at Montclair Library from March 20- April 27th... 

 
The Montclair Library Show- I have been invited to show my artwork at the Montclair Library on the Montclair Art Wall from March 20th-April 27th. This exhibit entitled “Welcome to my World” will feature a variety of my pieces done in oils or acrylics and most will have my usual bits of shine and shimmer. Stop by the library to take a peek!

*All local artists can apply for a solo show at the Prince William Libraries. I arranged my exhibit by contacting Delwyn Elizabeth directly at the Montclair location. 

2. I have a piece in the “Joy”, Falls Church Arts show running from February 28-April 12th.

The Falls Church Arts “Joy” show will be on display from February 28 - April 12th. This is a juried show and I was very happy to have one of my pieces accepted into this show. The Falls Church Arts shows always feature a great variety of artists and artworks and are well worth visiting and entering. I know of two other PWAS members with artwork in this show - Sandra Lewin and Donna Liguria. 

3. I will also hope to have *a piece or two* at the Creative Brush “Wonders of Nature” show from March 21st - April 30th. Reception Open House is March 21st 11:am-5:pm.  **That show is not juried until March 14th so I don’t know which pieces or how many I’ll have in.

Creative Brush “Wonders of Nature” show - this show at the Creative Brush Studio location in Manassas runs from March 21st- April 30th. This show is a juried show featuring artwork by artists who have either taken classes or are studio artists at Creative Brush. This is a wonderful show to see because it is right in our own back yards here in Prince William County and also introduces you to so many of the local artists. The reception on March 21 is a casual, all day, drop-in event with snacks and a chance to chat with some of the artists. I’m waiting to see if my pieces are selected for the show, but I’ll definitely be going to the reception myself!

4. I’ve submitted artwork to a couple of others but have to wait to hear if accepted. You know how that goes!
