Post 269: Open Space Arts and "Deck Your Halls"

Open Space Arts and "Deck Your Halls"

The song goes, "Deck the Halls with boughs of holly..." and the "fa-la -las" of course. But in the case of artwork, why not 'deck your halls with lots of artwork? 'Tis the season to support the artists..." And deck your Christmas tree too!? Local artists in Prince William County with lots of artwork are on display right now through Jan 1, 2023 for you to enjoy. Fall in love with a piece? Deck your halls!

Around the Gallery

Walk around the gallery and take in the variety of paintings, photography, mixed media and more and vote on your favorite piece. Remember to check out the Christmas tree where PWC artists have mini paintings and ornaments on display too.















Come by and enjoy!

Post 92: Pt3- PWAS Christmas Party Friday, December 10, 2021

Pt3- PWAS Christmas Party Friday, December 10, 2021

This is part 3 of the Christmas photos of the Prince William Art Society celebrating their annual Christmas party on Friday, December 10, 2021 at Clearbrook Center of the Arts.

Gift Exchange, the Gift of Art

Be sure and check out Part 1 and 2 - I spread the pictures out over 3 blog posts.
 
PWAS celebrates by Christmas every year by each person bringing a wrapped artwork they created for the holiday gift exchange. Normally, there is a meeting every month on the 4th Monday of the month but not in December! 

The food was great, the gift exchange fun, getting to sit down and chat with the other PWAS members was even better. It was a fun time. Here are the last of the pictures from the party AND...

Merry Christmas to ALL and have a Happy New Year! Let's make 2022 soooo much better than 2021 and 2020! I saw a tweet the other day that had "Baby, it's COVID outside"! I say NO - let's get back to normal in 2022!

Post 90: Pt1- PWAS Christmas Party Friday, December 10, 2021

Pt1- PWAS Christmas Party Friday, December 10, 2021

The Prince William Art Society celebrated their annual Christmas party on Friday, December 10, 2021 at Clearbrook Center of the Arts. Everyone brought the makings of the party and a great time was had by all.

Gift Exchange, the Gift of Art

PWAS celebrates by Christmas every year by each person bringing a wrapped artwork they created for the holiday gift exchange. Normally, there is a meeting every month on the 4th Monday of the month but not in December! 
 
Members sign up for an appetizer, a main or a side dish, a dessert or the plates/misc or beverages. The committee sets up for the party with the layout, tables, chairs, food areas, etc. The appetizers were the first to go, and they were awesome...

Once everyone arrives, the main dishes and sides are disappearing fast. 
Then the gift exchange begins, all while Christmas music is playing, and all of the member's artwork hanging around the gallery in the background as well.







Look for part 2 tomorrow!
