Is oil your favorite medium? Or watercolor? Or mixed media? You can see all 3, and much more, at the VAS Village Green Gallery this fall.
The Vienna Arts Society is organizing a trio of judged shows, opening on September 14th, October 12th and November 9th Renowned local artists will judge each show, starting with Jill Banks, who will kick off our series with her insights about our acrylic and oil artwork. Marni Maree is on deck to judge our works on paper, and Amelia Hankin will step up to judge works in alternative media.
To see our prize-winning artwork and hear why our judges made their selections, join our receptions on Sept 27th (acrylics and oils), Oct 25th (works on paper) and Nov 22nd (alternative media).
We look forward to seeing you at all 3 of our shows at the VAS Village Green Gallery at 513 Maple Avenue W in Vienna. Look for us inside the double doors. Call 703-319-3971 with any questions.
