Bring your friends, family, neighbors, spouse, significant other – anyone you can find – to the 2nd Saturday Art Walk and Mount Vernon Nights at the Workhouse! With the galleries and studios staying open late and a free concert on the Quad, Saturday is a great night to visit the Workhouse.
2nd Saturday Art Walk from 6-9pm showcases the diverse work of more than 100 visual artists in a unique historic venue, creating an atmosphere that encourages visitors to immerse themselves in the richness of this creative community.
Guests can tour seven unique studio buildings, mix and mingle with artists, buy original works of art, experience ever-changing exhibitions and meet featured artists, all while enjoying light refreshments and music. The social atmosphere of the monthly art walk makes it the perfect destination for a date night or girls’ night out, as well as for art collectors and art appreciation groups alike. These monthly events are also perfect for family art outings.
In the Vulcan Gallery, enjoy an exhibition reception introducing the new work of the Workhouse Associate Artists, and that of the group's featured artist of the month. This month’s exhibition in the McGuireWoods Gallery features the 2nd Annual Workhouse Clay National Exhibition. This exhibition represents the depth and breadth of contemporary functional and sculptural ceramic artworks being created throughout the country.
