New Art Offerings at Bruton Parish House in October
The Williamsburg Artists Group will return to Bruton Parish House on October 11 and 12 for its popular fall sale of new artwork. About 20 artists will be displaying their works – including original paintings and prints, photography, fine crafts, hand-painted cards, and more.
Doors open on Friday the 11th at 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. Wine and other refreshments will be offered. The event will continue on Saturday the 12th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
According to Bob Carlson, one of the leaders of the group, “This venue offers an excellent opportunity for artists and visitors to meet in a convenient and comfortable space. There is plenty of room to walk around at your own pace to see the artwork, and, if something grabs your eye, to talk to the artist about the inspiration for it and how it was created. It’s fun for everyone.”
Carlson added that “This show is laid back and casual, with no pushy sales. Because we are an independent organization and don’t work through a physical gallery, this type of setup tends to enable our artists to offer very reasonable prices for their work. It’s a great way to get unique gifts for the upcoming holiday season and there’s a large variety of styles and mediums to choose from.”
WAG was established in 2018 as a way for local artists to show their work outside a traditional gallery. Sales are usually held at least twice a year and the venues may change. WAG is currently exhibiting at the Stryker Gallery, part of the Williamsburg Regional Library system, and this past summer had its own sales kiosk at Busch Gardens.
From this show, WAG will donate 10% of its total sales to the local charity House of Mercy. Bruton Parish House is located at 331 Duke of Gloucester St. WAG can be contacted at Wbgartistsgroup.wag@gmail.com.
