The Village Gallery of Arts participates every year in the Washington County Open Studios (WCOS) event highlighting the work of our artists by giving a behind-the-scenes look at their work.  Each year, art studios and a few select galleries across the county open their doors to let the community see how local artists create. VGA does this by having shifts of three artists actively demonstrating their creative processes while answering visitor questions in our classroom.  We had over 150 visitors during the WCOS last year, it’s the busiest time at VGA during the fall season!  To make sure we shine, we have volunteer hosts who will welcome visitors into the gallery making everyone’s visit special .

We still have open slots for a few more artists’ demos and hosts.  There are  volunteer time slots open on both Saturday, Oct. 18 and Sunday, October 19 are 9:30 am – 1:30 pm and 1-5pm.  We will have short Zoom meetings the week prior to the event to review logistics and answer any questions.  If  you’d like to volunteer, please contact Diane Shingledecker ([email protected]) or Chris Kondrat ([email protected]).  This is a fun way to spend some time with fellow members of VGA and to share our work with the community!
