WILLIAMSBURG— Members of the Williamsburg Artists Group will be exhibiting and selling their work at the Williamsburg Regional Library Gallery at Stryker Center Aug. 14 through Oct. 6.
An opening reception for the public will be held Aug. 23 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the gallery. Light refreshments and non-alcoholic beverages will be served. About 50 local artists are expected to participate in the exhibit.
“This is the third time WAG has held a show at the Stryker Center gallery,” said Kay Krapfl, one of the co-founders of the independent artist organization. “We are always excited to have such a beautiful, premier venue to display our artwork in and appreciate the library’s offering us the space. We’ve been told by art lovers and friends that they especially enjoy coming here, too.”
The Williamsburg Artists Group says that visitors to the Stryker Center will find original artwork in a variety of styles and mediums that will appeal to a wide range of tastes, whether for home or office.
Williamsburg Artists Group or WAG was formed in 2018 to offer artists a way to display and sell their work at various venues in the community without going through a traditional gallery. The group says this offers greater flexibility and opportunities to the artists and is a way for visitors to meet the artists and get the backstory about the artwork they are interested in. WAG has two shows at Bruton Parish House in Colonial Williamsburg each year and is exhibiting at Busch Gardens through Aug. 11.
The WRL Gallery at Stryker Center, located at 412 N. Boundary St., is part of the Williamsburg Regional Library system and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for the weekend of Oct. 5-6 during Occasion for the Arts.
