Our Galleries

Invitational Gallery: In the main room downstairs we jury regional artists and art groups who submit applications. There is a qualified Standards Committee which helps choose from the many submissions we receive each year. Hallway Galleries: In both the upstairs and downstairs galleries we feature local art groups, educators, students, and occasionally a single artist. Each year in March there is a special exhibit of local students work as part of our participation in Youth Art Month. In April we feature Augusta County High School Seniors works.  Member’s Gallery: In the front room downstairs we feature work from our many talented member/artists. Each month there is a theme and as long as works fit into it, they are free to exhibit. Some past themes have been: Portraits, Pastel and Pencil, View from a Window, Art from Recycled Objects, and Photography.

Hanging requirements:
All art must have screw eyes or d-rings on the back, as we hang with filament. A wire is not necessary. Sculpture must be free-standing.
As we like to keep visitors interested, we ask that you not exhibit any one piece of art more than once.

Member’s Gallery drop off dates and times:
Opening receptions are always the first Thursday of the month from 5:00-6:30pm.
Drop off times for member’s art are always Tuesday and Wednesday previous to the Opening Reception. Tuesday from 3:00-5:00 and Wednesday from 10:00am-noon.
