Art Reception at the Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farm

Friday, May 24, 2024. The Prince William Art Society (PWAS) celebrated an art reception at the Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farm at 15850 Sunshine Ridge Lane, Gainesville, VA 20155. Meet the Artists

Art Show at Sunshine Winery

The PWAS Art Show at the Winery ran from March 18 and will end this Sunday, May 26th. Five art pieces were sold in total - SO FAR! A great time was had by all that attended and the wine sampling was fun too. I don't have very many pictures this go around, but here goes...

The saying "the show must go on" does not work in this scenario, as the 'show must come down' on Monday, May 27, 2024. Pickup is between 10 and 1.

 

A big thank you to the great folks at The Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farm for everything! Be sure and go out to the winery if you haven't been - the views are marvelous and the wines are too!

An Art Reception in Photos

The art reception notification asked for the artists to wear their "Bib and Tucker" - which many of the artists had to Google. Of course, the characters that we are, a couple of us actually made "bibs". Evelyn modeled one of the bibs. Photo taken by Donna Liguria. PWAS bib, created by Donna Liguria
