Spring has sprung and Shenandoah Valley Art Center is buzzing with events this week! On Saturday, May 7th from 10:00 am-1:00 pm SVAC is having their annual Pots and Plants Sale. Featuring cuttings, rooted plants, herbs and trees from their gardening members, this event is open to public and will also have wheel thrown pottery donated by local potters for sale. All proceeds from this event will support the SVAC.

If gardening isn't your thing, SVAC has a number of other events this week including their Weekly Art Group held every Thursday from 10:00 am-noon. This group is designed to spark creativity and to work on paintings, drawings, or other projects in a small group. Bring your own materials and a small project to work on for this free workshop.

Once you've finished your work of art, or if you need some inspiration, SVAC also offers a Critique and Conversation Art Group the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month from 10:00 am-noon. This group is designed to encourage kind and helpful discourse about current projects and ideas. SVAC studio artist Rose Guterbock facilitates this free workshop where you are encouraged to bring your current work you need feedback on and your thoughts for other projects.
