What do PWAS Members Have On Their Radars?
Spring and the fall are the busiest time of year for art shows, art festivals and any other type of art events. True, art is shown and sold throughout the year in galleries and art stores, and online as well, but the weather in the spring and fall makes it far easier to get out the tents, the gridwalls, the display tables and all the other equipment an artist needs to show off their art. The Prince William Art Society members have a lot of choice on where to show their art off in PWC.

PWAS Member - Donna Liguria - On My Radar
I signed up for Bettie Sperty's "Gilding" art class on September 7 and I'm looking forward to that. Upcoming Art Shows that I have currently and coming up are:
Fall Art at the Mill Saturday, September 21 - Sunday, October 6, 2024 at Burwell Morgan Mill 15 Tannery Lane, Milwood, VA. Art at the Mill is a huge art show that gets thousands of entries each spring and fall and is held in a live working mill. This is one of the three paintings that I will be showing there.

Saturday, October 5 - Fall Tall Oaks Community Center at 12298 Cotton Mill Drive, time TBD. Someone needs to step up and lead this one but its held in the spring and the fall, so I hope to be there again.
I'm also hoping that my entries into the Crossroads Arts Alliance "Everyone's Hometown" art show are accepted. https://crossroadsartsalliance.org/
I recently had my art at The Spot at Belmont Bay.
I also currently have one of my paintings in the PWAS Online Art Store at https://www.princewilliamartsociety.com/category/all-products and I have an Etsy Shop at https://donnaliguriaart.etsy.com
What's in Your Wallet?
Well, maybe not wallet per se, but what's on your radar (then on to your wallet, we all hope)? An artist has GOT to hustle! And I consider my schedule pretty light. How about you?
I know there are many PWAS artist members that are showing in Fredericksburg, at other art shows here in Prince William County and all over the Northern Virginia area. There are Calls for Art around the clock in our county, in our area, in our state and internationally as well as specific to various mediums and styles. Until next time...
