Many congratulations to Richard Young for the sale of his TWO paintings this past month; At Nightfall and Bathing Light, and to Sue Linthicum for the sale of her lovely watercolor, Queen Anne's Lace. Also new potter, the brilliant Terry Tessum, sold TWO of his crystalline pots!
We strongly pull creative ideas and collaborators from our ArtSpeak! group. Want to get involved creatively? Come to ArtSpeak! We meet on the last Thursday of each month @ 7 @ the Loft, this month the date is March 30th. Everyone that is creative or is interested in creative pursuits is welcomed! It's not only visual artists, but also writers, musicians, and supporters of the arts. No obligations, no dues, just your interest.
Please scroll down to view our new workshops and day trips for the first quarter of 2017. You can sign up now for all the workshops, except the PhotoShop (scope yet tbd). Definitely sign up for Lou Messa's March 4th Acrylic Painting Workshop NOW, there is only 2 seats available for this Saturday! Don't forget the Day Trippin' this month, March 22, to the Phillips in DC, Toulouse-Lautrec! I can only take 4 people in my limo, so sign up quickly! Always a great time.

Call Out for Artists!
One of the several exciting exhibits that arts a'loft is funding this year is Barebones; anything naked that is drawn, sketched, painted, colored in crayon, made of iron, constructed of tin cans or stitched together with fibers is acceptable. It can be framed, matted or taped to core board, I don't care. And this just in; it doesn't have to be a woman! There are naked tree branches, skulls and femurs. Surprise me. Artists, let's lean into this for a July exhibit! Submissions by June 1st, please. All work will be juried.
35% consignment fee if sold.
Culpeper Walls!;
arts a'loft is joint venturing with the CRI (Culpeper Rennaissance) to paint murals on some boring, plain or just unsightly Culpeper building walls. Start imagining! Get your ideas on paper! Submission forms will be forthcoming soon! ANYONE can submit their ideas, it does NOT HAVE TO BE historical or pastoral. It can be something totally different, unique, clever, witty or your wall can celebrate Virginia horse country, the vibrant wine region here or highlight famous people from the area. CRI has already identified buildings to paint in town, volunteers will prepare the surface for painting, and this IS a paying gig!
Great opportunity for artists and awesome for Culpeper!
