Caton Merchant Family Gallery
The Caton Merchant Family Gallery hosts a new art exhibit approximately every six weeks which feature local and regional artists. Each exhibit includes an artist reception to help connect the community to the artists. In addition, an artist may also provide a demonstration and/or an artist talk. All gallery events are free to the public.
The Gallery also hosts an annual adjudicated high school student art competition called “Off the Wall” that includes poetry and wearable art. This competition is in conjunction with Prince William County Schools and is presented in early January.
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
