LOBBY SHOW 2020

Our latest Lobby Show has been hung in our Lobby Gallery. Due to the current pandemic, there won't be a reception nor a end date for this show. We are featuring artwork in different media and themes and this show can be viewed during our open hours of Wed-Sun, 12-5 pm.

ARTISANS OUT AND ABOUT: Libby Rudolf & Pam Geisel in Art to UPlift at the Winds

Libby Rudolf (left) and Pam Geisel (right) have a show up at the Winds Cafe, 215 Xenia Ave. in Yellow Springs. Their show, titled "Art to UPlift: Watercolors & Art Quilts" will be on display through Sep. 5. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of artwork will go to the "Save the Glen" fund.

Due to the pandemic, there won't be a reception but there is a virtual reception here.

ARTISANS OUT AND ABOUT: Ryan Taylor at the ARTery

Ryan Taylor is a nature fine art photographer from Beavercreek, Ohio. Ryan attends at least a dozen art and craft fairs and festivals every summer to promote and sell his imagery with others and has built a decent following on social media. He has previously held a solo exhibition in his hometown as well as being a current member of the Village Artisans Co-op. He will be The ARTery's guest exhibitor during July and August, 2020 with framed prints on display of various waterfalls, backyard birds and more.

Art on the Lawn is Cancelled for 2020

Due to the Corona Virus, Village Artisans has decided to cancel Art on the Lawn, which was scheduled for August 8, 2020. This was not an easy decision and certainly not one that we wanted to make but ultimately we value the safety of our members, our Art on the Lawn artists, and our patrons. We hope to be back next year, better than ever.

All artists who have applied will get your booth and jury fees refunded.

THROUGH JULY 26 - Community Show - Dare 2B a Little Square - Take 2

Video "Dare 2B a Little Square - Take 2"

When we were planning our lobby shows, we named this exhibit "Dare 2B a Little Square - Take 2" because it was the second time we've done a 6" x 6" community show. But now it really is a "Take 2." We hung this show the last week of February and in mid-March we closed the shop because of the Corona Virus. The show is still up and as we slowly reopen, we are keeping the show up through July 26.

The shop will be open Th-Sun from 12-5 pm and you can see the show in person during these hours, or you can visit our Virtual Reception where we have photos of all of the artwork and you can view a video of the show.

If you would like to purchase one of these pieces please call 937.767.1209 or email VillageArtisans.email@yahoo.com and someone will get back to you to make the arrangements.
