Exhibits

Featured Artists Monthly - A new Featured Artist exhibit, lasting two months, premieres the first Friday of each month with a free public reception 5-7pm. All works in the exhibit, as well as those of all co-op members, are priced individually for shoppers' convenience. Please join us monthly to hear from the featured artist(s) and enjoy refreshments.

Art on the Mezz - In addition to Featured Artists, OASIS has a program for non-members (and members) to have a one or two-month exhibit that fills the mezzanine for a modest fee. If you are interested in Art on the Mezz, please leave contact info for Judith Ligon at OASIS, 540-442-8188.

December 1, 2011 - January 31, 2012. Janet Marshman is Featured Artist with an exhibit of her original masks, titled Magnificent Muse Masquerade.As a mask designer, Marshman focuses on design and transformation. She explains, Masks are an ancient form of disguise and revelation. Marshman's masks have been purchased by Mike Seeger, musician, and Olga Hirshhorn of the Hirshhorn Museum. She invites you to try on a mask and feel the transformation of a new persona.

December 1-31, 2011. Stuart Mercer, Artist-In-Residence for December, fills the mezzanine with an extensive exhibit of his jewelry, along with samples of the rocks he has mined to yield each type of gem. In addition he shows some of his most cherished items from his personal collection, including an Alaskan gold nugget collected in 1963, a Kimberly Mine diamond crystal from the A. E. Foote collection, pre 1904 and a large specimen of Virginia gold in quartz. Mercer is also exhibiting antique mining tools, human-powered tools that allow us to speculate on the life of a miner in early America. Group visits are welcome.

Through December 31 Deck the Halls holiday exhibit continues.
