Don't Worry. Be Hoppy!

Get ready to get Hoppy.  The Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton is featuring its first annual BrewFest on August 13, 2016 from 10am-6pm.  There will be beers to sample from 30 different breweries and many of these will be local breweries.

The Workhouse is also bringing in food trucks, a great musical lineup featuring local bands, activities, demonstrations, and more.  There is even a Root Beer Garden for the kids!
 
For a list of participating Breweries, check out the Workhouse site.  You can buy your tickets online too.

But wait, there’s more . . .

Since this is also The Workhouse's Second Saturday, the Artists’ Studios and Galleries will also be open for you to tour and to purchase art as well — all the way to 9pm!

If you haven’t been to the Workhouse, now is you chance to combine a great event with lots of great art.  The Workhouse has ceramics, painting, photography, glass (blown and fused), stained glass work, jewelry, fiber, and more.
 
The exhibit in the main building during the month of August will be the first Fiber National 2016 and will be on display in Building 16.  This is a juried exhibition “showcasing traditional, contemporary, and experimental fiber art” from across the Untied States.
 
While you’re enjoying BrewFest, be sure to check out Chris’ photography in Building 9.  This month he features the theme “Dew Kissed” (including the namesake image Dew Kissed). This collection is a delightful group of refreshing images made to help the viewer feel cooler — even in the August heat.  There are even dew kissed works in the Small Works section of the gallery.
 
Hoppy August days!
 
 
Thank You for visiting,
