“ADVENTURES WITH PAPERS” is up in the Gallery now, and will be display through Friday, September 12th. It can be fun just to walk through, and see the materials Lois McMullan has used and how each piece is assembled. Lois cheerfully admits to being hooked on color, texture, papers of all sorts and the art making process itself. “I do art work to satisfy myself. It can be technically meticulous – all those bits and bobs of paper, seed pods, whatever catches my eye – but it keeps me out of trouble,” Lois laughs. Most of the pieces in this show are linked to at least one of her passions – nature, different papers, and a very fertile imagination. Come see how viewing this work takes on additional interest upon closer examination. The exhibit is free, and the Gallery hours are: Monday – Saturday 10 am – 4:30 pm & Sundays 1 pm – 4 pm.

Remembering - Kathy Mason Nicely
2025-08-08 10:00 - 16:30, 2025-08-07 10:00 - 16:30, 2025-08-06 10:00 - 16:30, 2025-08-05 10:00 - 16:30, 2025-08-04 10:00 - 16:30 | Alleghany Highands Arts and Crafts Center, 439 E Ridgeway Street, Clifton Forge, VA, 24422, United States
Is not often the public is able to see work from the artist’s own high school work alongside efforts of intensive college years, examples and demonstrations done while teaching students, and private works and fulfilled commissions done as an adult. Thanks to the family and friends of the late Kathy Mason Nicely, visitors to the AHACC can trace that thread. We celebrate Kathy for her unwavering commitment to our community and her dedication to nurturing the creativity of her students. Her artistic legacy lives on through her former students, her granddaughter – who has inherited her remarkable talent. “Remembering Kathy…” will run through August 8, 2025
The Gallery hours are Mon – Sat 10 am – 4:30pm, and Sundays 1 pm – 4 pm.

This exhibit is a combination of Mark’s observational skills, love of drawing, a fondness for and understanding of how to utilize watercolor effectively. Whether his subject is North Carolina, Maine, or Scotland, it is obvious that he wants to enjoy and celebrate the unique quality of each location, whether here in the Unite States or his new home in Scotland. Please join us for a reception in the galleries honoring Mark on Saturday July 26th from 2:30 – 4:30 pm.
The Gallery hours are Mon – Sat 10 am – 4:30pm, and Sundays 1 pm – 4 pm.
