WASHINGTON'S THIRD ART WALK ! JANUARY 19TH
Each month, 12 to 16 downtown Washington shops host an artist for the month and an Artist Reception the third Thursday evening, from 5 to 8pm. You will be provided with a program listing the participating shops and artists hosted at each of them. Come early so you can walk to each shop and enjoy the installations, artists and refreshments. There is no charge for this monthly event. We are working on expanding the Art Walk to include performing artists! If you know someone or a group that may be interested, please let me know!
Kathy's Kove & Kafe' will host the artist Virginia Fitch during January. Here are 2 of her works: Aqua Barn and Orchards.

About Virginia
Raised in Montville, Morris County, which was then a woodsy suburb of New York City, Virginia moved to Califon in 1999 from Artist Housing in the Historic District of Paterson, and now lives in Glen Gardner, NJ
Virginia had a special connection with the woods, brook, lake and glacial boulders within viewing and walking distance of her home early on. The agricultural and native wild landscape, flower gardens, and the human form all inspire her. Painting en plein air (in the open air) is her favorite expression of the Nature Muse. Working on location gives life to her art. There is also a strong fantasy and dreamy element in her work reflecting the idyllic and romantic side of nature. Pastels are her favorite medium.
Virginia's education includes a BFA in Painting from Ringling College of Art and Design, Sarasota, FL and further studies at the School of Visual Arts, Art Students League, National Academy of Design, and The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
You may view additional works of Virginia Fitch at www.virginiafitch.com.

Have you heard about the 350 Project?
It's a movement that just may save our independent brick & mortar shops - 3 shops at a time! If shoppers put aside $50. per month and spend it among their favorite 3 independent shops you don't want to see close, it will create millions of dollars and keep the independents open. Please check it out and share the concept. Independent businesses and organizations may sign up as supporters of this project - there is no cost to you to be a supporter. www.the350project.net Thanks!
