What we did right!
12/31/2017
The last day of 2018 and although the gallery is closed today, artists are busy at work and the staff is getting ready for a fundraising New Years Day event for a special non-profit group. So we're busy even when it looks like we're not. What we did right in this past year? You came to us: Yoga on Saturday mornings, Orbital Music (a music meet-up group), Creative Mornings, the Red Cross, RVA Chamber of Commerce EWX (Extraordinary Women's Exchange) needing space for meetings and events. We said "yes". And this new website shop4artwork.com makes it easier to see and buy art. Learning took a front row seat this year. Thriving Artist Thursdays came into being. Lectures and demos help artists in business and in creativity. Plus all the things we've been doing right all along, continue! Monthly art shows, juried shows, studio rentals, classrooms, parties, weddings... It's been a good year. Can't wait until tomorrow! 2018 - brand new opportunities for the creative sort!

Gardens and more
12/22/2017
I meet Gail when I was looking to rent a house one hot summer day and the property manager failed to show up. This nice lady was in her garden working and took the time to talk with me. We hit it off. She invited me in our house and showed me her artwork. Two years later Gail Nichols has filled the main gallery at Art Works with mixed media pieces. They range from $150 to $1000...shockingly affordable given the amount of detail and work that went into each piece. Many of the pieces are "garden scenes" as you might have guessed. Her work has a three dimensional look because after she paints a canvas she works in threads, textiles and mixed media. The exhibit continues through January 20, 2018. You can order online or drop by the gallery and purchase the art. Geo Rock - Mixed Media by Gail Nichols
