“Destination ARTS!” activities continue in Waynesboro with special events and live music scheduled at Gallery 50, Gallery 20 East and 42 West ARTS Co-Op. The Ceramic Arts Center of Waynesboro and The Contemporary School of the Arts & Gallery will also have art and pottery for sale and art classes available.

The galleries will be closed this Thursday due to the Thanksgiving holiday, but they will reopen in time for customers to do some holiday shopping on Black Friday.

“Wine Down Friday” receptions, featuring wine and light refreshments, are scheduled from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Gallery 50, Gallery 20 East, 42 West ARTS Co-Op and The Ceramic Arts Center of Waynesboro. This week’s receptions will feature a “Ladies Night Out” theme, and guests are encouraged to come in and look around while also relaxing with food, drinks and live music. Ladies (and others) may enter their selected, preferred gifts into our new Gift Registry for Christmas Gifts or gifts for any occasion from Gallery 50 or Gallery 20 East. Let our docents show you what we have to offer.

The father and daughter team of Andrew and Nicola Sussman will be providing the music at Gallery 50 this week. The popular duo has performed in the downtown district on a number of occasions since the beginning of Waynesboro’s “Destination ARTS!” initiative last summer. On Friday night, Nicola will play her ukulele and sing standards and folk songs while Andrew accompanies her on keyboard and harmonica.

Brad Munn’s bluegrass and rock rhythms can be heard during the reception scheduled inside of Galley 20 East. A singer-songwriter who uses his vocals, guitar and fiddle to entertain audiences, Munn is also known for his work with The Boro Boogie Pickers and The Lowdown Grasskickers.

Over at the 42 West ARTS Co-Op, Patric Schlee will again be setting the mood with his flute and drums.

All of the performances in the galleries are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m.

 

Rod Meyer will be working with clay on the potter’s wheel at 42 West ARTS from 1:00 to 3:00 on Saturday afternoon. A native of Oregon, Meyer and fellow artist, Karri Benedict, operate the Willow Creek Pottery studio in Waynesboro, where they find inspiration for their projects in the rolling farmers’ fields and orchards that are easy to find in this area.

Arts enthusiasts may want to mark their calendars for a number of special events planned at the galleries in December.

The list of upcoming activities includes a celebration of the one-year anniversary of The Contemporary School of the Arts & Gallery (Saturday, December 6), a fundraiser for the purchase of a gas kiln at The Ceramic Arts Center of Waynesboro (Friday, December 12) and a new reception known as “Grin and Beer It” inside of multiple galleries on Friday, December 19.
