Post 579: Annaburg Manor Art Show Oct 24-26, 2025

Autumn at Annaburg Art Exhibit Oct 24-26, 2025

The Autumn at Annaburg Art Exhibit opens on Friday, October 25 with an art reception at 9201 Maple Street, Manassas, Virginia. This is the third art show at the historic Annaburg Manor, and all are invited to come and see the art! And what a show it will be - I just dropped off my artwork this morning (Tues, Oct 21) and saw what has already been brought in. Amazing is not enough of a word, I tell you!

I recognized a lot of the artists and their artworks, and a good many Prince William Art Society (PWAS) members that are in this show, as well as local artist friends.

The Historic Annaburg Manor is Being Rehabilitated... 

Let's see which PWAS members are showing at the Annaburg Manor...you can always click on an image to make it larger.

PWAS Member Donna Liguria

Donna's painting "Streams Never Stay the Same" was selected to show at Annaburg Manor this weekend. The painting is in acrylics on an 11x14 gallery-wrapped canvas, featuring a stream running through a wooded area. The banks are filled with flowers and grasses and in the distance, a bridge is over the stream. Painting this artwork reminded the artist of growing up in Alexandria with a stream behind her home where every day, the stream was different in so many ways - how it looked, what little kids could find in it, how it flowed. Donna says, "As kids, we were in that stream or crossing that stream every day in summer. We caught crawdads, sometimes minnows, made dams, sailed small boats, and played games."

PWAS Member Scott Elliot

Here is Scott's acrylic art piece, "Senescence" by Scott Elliott. acrylic. 24 x 36 - I loved seeing this in person!

My entry for the Autumn at Annaburg show Oct. 24-26. 2025,  Annaburg Manor, Manassas, Va.

"Blue Hole" 24x30 oil on stretched cotton canvas, framed.
This picture evolved from a photo I took of Quantico Creek in Prince William Forest Park. "Blue Hole" refers to fishing slang for a deep creek pool.

PWAS Member Tes Sain

“Living in Italy was a life-enriching experience that allowed me to deeply connect with the culture and appreciate its rich history leaving a lasting impact in my perspective.  I was particularly inspired by the rustic charm of the old houses, which sparked a creative vision that ultimately led to the creation of this painting,  “Vecchio Porta Di Casa” 

Oil Painting, 14x18 Stretched Canvas

OK, I think there are a few more members but I didn't hear from them and I'll have to kick off the Wow's in the Comments! 

And More PWAS

And Dear Reader, here's a reminder that the PWAS Fall Tall Oaks Art Show is Saturday, November 1 from 10-5pm at 12298 Cotton Mill Road, Woodbridge, VA.

Post 565: Art at the Mill Fall Art Show with PWAS

Art at the Mill Fall Art Show with PWAS

Every year, artists in Virginia look forward to their local 'art season(s)' which are usually early spring and again in the fall up to Christmas. Artist's Inboxes fill with Calls for Art and they make the decisions on which shows will work for their schedules, their artworks, and agendas. The emails from Clark County for the biannual Art at the Mill Art Show held at the Burwell Morgan Mill are much anticipated by some of the members of the Prince William Art Society too!

 

Burwell Morgan Mill in Millwood, VA 

PWAS Members Entering AATM

You can search this blog for "Art at the Mill" and read the numerous blog posts and many pictures I've taken of this art show held in a LIVE working mill. 

It is an honor just to be accepted to show at the Mill and many of the PWAS members have urged other art group members that even if they don't enter the show, to at least go SEE it, for goodness sake! And they have the show twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall. Just think about this:

Art at the Mill juries in about 1,000 artworks from about 300 artists, for each show. 

This year's Fall Show begins on Saturday, September 20 and goes through Sunday, October 5, 2025. Their hours are Sundays through Fridays 12-5 and Saturdays 10-5. The artist's reception is Sunday, September 28, from 2-5. The address to plug into your GPS/Google Maps is 15 Tannery Lane, Millwood, VA. From Lakeridge, here in Woodbridge...that's about 57 miles and about 1 hour and 12 minutes to drive. 

"Over the river and through the woods, to Millwood, VA we go!"

Here are some PWAS members that will be trekking to Burwell Morgan to drop off their artworks soon. 

PWAS Member Mark Clifton

This will be Mark Clifton's first time showing at the Art at the Mill and 3 of his 5 were accepted. Congratulations Mark!

PWAS Member Donna Liguria

This is the first time I've had 4 of my 5 accepted, usually I get 3, sometimes only 2 in. I'm excited for this show!

"Bluejay in the Vineyard", Acrylic 20" w x 16" h 
 
"Mushroom #4", Acrylic 16"w x 12"h 
 
"Skull with Flowers", Acrylic 18.5 x 22.5 Framed 

PWAS Member Bettie Sperty

Bettie had a couple of paintings accepted to Art at the Mill too!

"Burn Baby, Burn",  Oil, 11x14”
"The Tiny House", Acrylic on wood, 6”x12" 

Congratulations too all!

And because Art at the Mill processes their art shows through ArtCall.org (https://artatthemillfall2025.artcall.org/), on the day of or just before, the art gallery online will become available online alphabetically by artists and you can literally watch almost live, as items sell for the duration of the show. Pretty cool, right. And sell - yes, a lot of art does sell. Let's hope our art does too!
