An Art Show in Pictures from PWAS

The Prince William Art Society (PWAS for short) just held its Fall Tall Oaks Art Show this past Saturday, October 5, 2024 at the Tall Oaks Community Center on the corner of Cotton Mill and Hedges Run in Woodbridge. We had 9 PWAS members showing their art.

PWAS Members at the Show

The PWAS members that helped with this show are Staci Blanchard and Ana Quispe (the coordinators), Ken and April McKether (who helped load the gridwalls), Richard Tyler, Maria Briganti, Doreen Dauer, Jewell Pratt Burns, and Donna Liguria.

It was a beautiful day, thankfully. We had plenty of visitors and had a very productive show and so enjoyed the meeting and seeing all the visitors. We had several patrons with Christmas gift-giving in mind too! We saw a past member and so many that just plain enjoyed seeing the outstanding and quite varied types of art and topics on display.
 

The Prince William Art Society uses the Tall Oaks Community Center for our monthly meetings which are on the 4th Monday of the month at 7:30pm. The public is always welcome to attend the meetings where we often have very interesting artist guest speakers. We also use the community center for our Spring Tall Oaks Art Show and again for the Fall Art Show, and often for our member's December Christmas Party. 

Many thanks to everyone that helped make this show happen - an art show is always a lot of hard work. A lot of folks may not realize that. 

And thank you to the many visitors, we hope you enjoyed the show!

Post 461: The Art Show at Tall Oaks

The Art Show at Tall Oaks

The Prince William Art Society (PWAS) hosts an annual Spring and Fall Art Show at the Tall Oaks Community Center found at 12298 Cotton Mill Drive in Woodbridge, VA and this past Saturday, May 11, 2024 was the first one of the season. Most of the day was bright and sunny, albeit a bit chilly in the shade. A great day to see some art!

PWAS Team

We had a great turn out for the show with many people stopping in to enjoy the artwork. And we also had some PWAS members stopping in to see the show too! As a team, we had a great time getting together and doing all the things that get an art show setup and run. A lot of laughs, oooo's and awww's as we appreciated each others art and celebrated each piece of art that visitors purchased to give a new home to. Plenty of folks picked up PWAS brochures so hopefully some new faces join the group in future too, we hope.

A few pictures from the day...

Evelyn Chatters led the Tall Oaks Show - a big thank you to Evelyn!

 

We love talking to all the visitors and some even like to ask about PWAS, if they are artists themselves and what their interests are.

In the show and stopping by were:

Doreen Dauer

Donna Liguria

Richard Tyler

Terry Sandin

Katleen Gates

Evelyn Chatters

Ana Quispe

Mark Clifton

David Dillon

Sylvester Harriet

Connie Huebner

Rosemary Schatz

Nicole Fisher

Anna Gatling

Thank you to all the artists that showed, the guys that helped with the equipment and those that set out all the signs, and by gosh all the behind the scenes things that have to happen to get a show ready, on the road and on the map. As they say, it takes a village, or in this case, a great art group!

If other participants have great pictures to add, please send them to me and I'll add them.
