New Charles Town Gallery Plans Reception 10/23

Washington Street Gallery & Gift has recently juried in 15 new artists, artisans and authors. These new talents will be featured in a reception Saturday, October 23, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM, in the downtown Charles Town gallery. The new offerings include watercolor and oil paintings, handcrafted wood furniture, pottery, jewelry, decorative furniture, wooden bowls, baskets and note-cards

"This reception is sponsored by the Old Opera House Theatre Company and takes place on the second night of its fall comedy-thriller Desperate Affection, which opens Oct 22, says gallery owner Susan Ford Pritchard. We thank the Opera House for its support, and encourage you to see the play. In fact, our event is timed so that you can attend the reception AND see the show!"

Receptions at the gallery provide an opportunity to meet the artists. Whether you are interested in a hand-stitched pillow, a nature photograph, a book on successful retirement, or a beautiful necklace, you can find it at Washington Street Gallery & Gift. Established in May 2010, the gallery is the only permanent venue in Jefferson County to feature all local art.
