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

Post 375: An Art Reception at Open Space Arts

An Art Reception at Open Space Arts

Friday, July 28, 2023 6:00pm  An art reception was held last night at Open Space Arts at the gallery at Stonebridge Shopping Center in Woodbridge, Virginia. Art receptions are great ways to 'announce' a new art show now-on-display-opening and for the public to not only see the show, but meet the artists that have artwork in the show.

Military and First Responders Show

The current show is called "For Those That Serve" which honors those in the military and our First Responders. Most of the art on display reflects the title in a variety of ways.

Many thanks to PWAS artist member Otis Stanley for taking the pictures as seen below.
