SUMMARY:"Nostalgia" Prince William Art Society Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:“Nostalgia” Prince William Art Society Group Art ExhibitExhibit dates: July 10 2026-August 9\, 2026Artist Reception: Saturday\, July 11\, 6-8 PMRSVP: https://insidenovatix.com/events/nostalgia-opening-reception-7-11-2026View the artwork\, meet the artists\, and enjoy wine and light refreshments at this free event. Exhibition programming sponsored by Micron. About the ExhibitThe Prince William Art Society presents “Nostalgia”\, a group exhibition featuring work by 25 local artists and members. On view from July 10 through August 9\, 2026\, at ARTfactory in Historic Manassas\, the exhibition explores nostalgia as an emotional landscape shaped by memory\, longing\, and the passage of time.Through a wide range of artistic interpretations\, the works in the exhibition serve as portals into moments that feel half-remembered—places once known\, emotions once lived\, and histories inherited rather than personally experienced. Texture\, sound\, color\, and form become vehicles for memory\, evoking both personal and collective pasts while revealing how nostalgia shifts across individual perspectives. What feels intimate and familiar to one viewer may appear distant or uncanny to another.Rather than recreating the past with literal accuracy\, the artists reconstruct memory as it is emotionally felt. The exhibition invites viewers to linger in the space between then and now\, where memory becomes a living presence: tender\, unreliable\, and deeply human. In doing so\, the works ask not only what we remember\, but why certain moments continue to call us back—and what those returns reveal about who we are today.An Opening Reception will be held on Saturday\, July 11\, from 6–8 PM\, offering visitors an opportunity to meet the artists and experience the exhibition in community.Participating ArtistsDanielle Bancroft\, Fatima Batool\, Zee Berrios\, Staci Blanchard\, Larry Burch\, Evelyn Chatters\, Doreen Dauer\, Katie Keller Dugan\, Scott Elliott\, Michelle Evans\, Nicole M Fisher\, Kathleen Gates\, Sheri Herrick\, Lizzy B.
