New Exhibit Opens at the Workhouse

The Workhouse Photography Group (WPG) is pleased to announce the opening of our new show at the Vulcan Gallery located in Building W-16 at the Lorton Arts Center in Lorton, VA. The members have assembled outstanding work in a variety of styles, ranging from Carol Simons Huddleston's sensitive black and white images of a military base closure, Wayne Guenther's intriguing wildlife shots from the Galapagos Islands, to Larry Rood's whimsical image of fast food service in Tuscany.

A good day to visit is June 12 when the 2nd Saturday Art Walk will be held. You will be able to join more than 125 Workhouse artists as all studios buildings stay open until 9:00 PM! You will experience first hand the vitality, creativity, and diversity of the artists who make up this unique arts community. Each 2nd Saturday Art Walk features receptions in all Workhouse buildings, where you can meet each building's featured artists(s) of the month.
