SUMMARY:“Give Me Shelter” Exhibit Opening Day Appointments
DESCRIPTION:Give Me Shelter Art ExhibitMarch 5 – 27\, 2021\n“Beach Shelter” by Pamela Day\nDuring the pandemic we all have learned what it means to shelter in place. Shelters are often structures\, yet sometimes just a state of where one is. For many it is a way to connect to our dwellings\, and for others it merely means finding refuge. Some people even choose to shelter from the facts of the COVID-19 virus and its spread. The current crisis has nearly 40 million American renters at risk of homelessness. A building\, box\, bench\, grate\, tent\, car—all places where humans shelter. Come see how local artists explore the concept of shelter in the Give Me Shelter art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans. \nReserve a ticket for a half-hour viewing during the extended hours on opening day: Friday\, March 5 between 12-8pm.

O’Brien (right\, finishing artist)\nSign Up for Random Pairing \nAs artists\, most of us have unfinished pieces hidden in our workspaces. This exhibit challenges us to share those pieces with other artists and see how the “start” inspires a “finish” by someone else. We hope the show will provide a fun and safe way to collaborate\, given the isolation we have all experienced due to the pandemic. Artists may self-pair with someone they know -OR- sign up (by February 12) to be randomly paired.  \nUnfinished/Finished is open to all area artists and area high school students. High school students are invited to participate for free (no entry fee). The deadline to enter finished artwork is Sunday\, March 14\, 2021 by midnight. The exhibit runs April 2 – May 1\, 2021. \nSign Up for Random Pairing

She is an award-winning photographer and active member of the Manassas-Warrenton Camera Club\, Virginia Beltway Photographers\, Saab Club of North America\, and Central Penn Saab. She lives near Manassas where she runs errands for her husband’s family business and Saab collection\, helps with grandchildren\, and actively pursues photography. \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
