Williamsburg Artists Group (WAG) Spring Sale
Bruton Parish House
Friday, May 1, 4-8 p.m.
Saturday, May 2, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m
Come and shop original paintings, jewelry, and notecards and a plethora of other fine arts and crafts at Bruton Parish House in Colonial Williamsburg. The Williamsburg Artists Group returns for its popular fall sale. This is a great opportunity to meet the artists behind the art and learn the stories of the paintings and works that you are buying!
The event, to be held on Friday, May 1, from 4-8 p.m.; and Saturday, May 2, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., will feature the work of about 20 local artists.
“WAG started in 2018 at the King of Glory church with 20 artists—some who still show their art with us. We have grown to 75 artists now and it’s a great group—we all help each other,” said Kay Krapfl, one of the founding members. “Bruton Parish House is one of our favorite venues but we’ve now expanded to the Stryker Center, the Williamsburg Players Theater, Busch Gardens, the Williamsburg Winery, and other venues as well. This is a pretty good indication that we’ve become known for our diverse and high-quality artwork.
“Our visitors enjoy talking to the artists and the artists love telling stories about their artwork. It’s a win-win event!” she added.
WAG was established in 2018 as a way for local artists to show their work outside a traditional gallery. Sales at Bruton Parish are usually held at least twice a year. WAG has also exhibited at the Stryker Gallery, part of the Williamsburg Regional Library system, and the Williamsburg Winery, and has had sales several times for the past two years at Busch Gardens. This year the artists will be donating 10% of their sales to FISH as a community service. The Williamsburg Artists Group is an independent organization not associated with a traditional gallery.
Bruton Parish House is located at 331 Duke of Gloucester St. WAG can be contacted at Wbgartistsgroup.wag@gmail.com. More art can be seen on their Facebook Page. The website is https://wagartists.wordpress.com/.
