ART LOTTOArt Lotto is a Juried Multimedia Portrait Show OF artists BY artists that began in 2012 in downtown Harrisonburg. This show brings together two of my favorite things: painting portraits and meeting new people!
This show continues to excite local artists because of the opportunity it provides to bring the local artist community together. To read more about Art Lotto, visit the links provided to the right. |

ARTERYIn 2013, a group of local downtown Harrisonburg artists joined together to create an artful project, called Artery. Artery began as a troupe of artists working live in the public sphere to collectively create a single piece of art at each event. The goal of Artery was to afford artists the opportunity to collaborate with others in their field, to share artistic vision and to give the community the opportunity to meet artists.
Artery existed only because of community participation, i.e. the community of artists that create the work, the community of donors that have supported needs for materials before Artery could proudly proclaim that it was chosen by the Arts Council of the Valley to receive a Creative Inspiration Grant, and the community of art lovers populating Harrisonburg. After a year of events, Artery morphed into a fun project for any passersby to participate hands on. Artery was continually invited back to places downtown like Larkin Arts, The Little Grill, Dragonflies Toys, The Artful Dodger and Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance events. Now, Artery has been put to rest, but collaborative art still lives on! |
