Each year the Burwell-Morgan Mill in the quaint village of Millwood, Virginia, becomes an extraordinary art gallery. Art at the Mill has become one of the premier art shows in the mid-Atlantic region, attracting artists and buyers from more than a dozen states.

During each show, around 300 artists display more than 1,000 pieces of art of all descriptions and media. Oil paintings are predominant, but other types of painting, mixed-media, sculpture, fine woodworking, and pottery round out the stunning diversity of the show. There is truly something for every taste, budget, and decor.

Art at the Mill is CCHA's primary fundraiser, providing the operating funds for both the Mill and the Museum and Archives. CCHA retains 35% of each sale, the artist 65%. CCHA proceeds go to the maintenance and operations of the Burwell-Morgan Mill, our Museum in Berryville, costs associated with hosting Art at the Mill, special programming, and to the Sarah P. Trumbower Memorial Scholarship fund awarded to a Clarke County student pursuing university education in the fine arts.

I will be joining regional painters for Allure Art Center's 8th annual Plein Air Unleashed. This will be a fun week of painting the wetlands, marinas and countryside in Middlesex County, Virginia. Located along the Chesapeake Bay and bordered by the Rappahannock and Piankatank Rivers, the county boasts over 135 miles of shoreline. Deltaville, Urbanna, Hartfield, Saluda, and Topping are just a few of the communities artists may explore within the county.

The event culminates in a Friday Night Preview Reception on 4/28 at 6 PM to see the week's work and meet the exhibiting artists. The reception will be held at the Deltaville Community Center located at 17147 General Puller Highway, Deltaville, VA 23043. The fun continues at the Deltaville Community Center on Saturday 4/29, where exhibiting artists will also be painting in the area. Join us between from 9 - 4 for demos and a public exhibit at the center. Local community artists are invited to come paint in the area.
