Now that the new King Street Art Works gallery is up and running it is time to turn our attention to the Stay Longer, Return Often wall decor project that Allon Lefevor recently approved.

The concept is to showcase about 50 of the hundreds of exciting and entertaining things to do along the historic Old Valley Pike now known as Route 11. The photographic art will focus on about a 20 mile stretch in either direction keeping the travel time to about 15 minutes. Historic sites, fine eateries, and places to play will be among those featured. The Hampton Inn and Suites located at Exit 283 in on Interstate 81 affords a beautiful decor with each guestroom finely appointed down to the stunning local images on the walls. This Hampton Inn recently won the distinction of being Number 1 in Virginia in customer service as well as 5th in the nation.

LtdPrints.com is pleased to have provided the art for the Woodstock Hampton Inn & Suites guestroom’s and looks forward to creating the extensive Stay Longer, Return Often photographic art gallery.

Vacation by Dennis Wymer

Dennis Wymer a young up and coming modernist works on “Vacation” a large oil painting offered at King Street Art Works opening on April 1st. The Noon ribbon cutting promises to be a hit with people from all along the Shenandoah Valley planning to attend.

King Street Art Works is located at 234 West King Street in Strasburg, Virginia in the shared space with LtdPrints.com.

For the past three months artists and art lovers have come together to create the first professional art collective and gallery in Strasburg. King Street Art Works or KSAW as it is being called is across from Cristina’s Cafe another art lover’s stop along historic Route 11. Twenty Five artists from Winchester to Staunton have brought an eclectic selection of paintings, pottery, fabric arts and jewelry into the newly decorated space. Adding an international flair artists from Russia and Germany bring a special look. In fact Valentina Dimilo a Russian Batikist sold the first piece before the doors are officially opened. The lovely Madonna and Child Batik wall hanging was sold to Richard Seelback of Bygones Antiques and Art just down the street after he visited during a recent morning stroll.

Linda L. Anderson whose mixed media work was featured in a recent article announcing the gallery’s formation is a professional exhibit installer. Ms. Anderson was hired to hang each member’s work to best showcase the pieces and tie the entire exhibit together. “Ms. Anderson was a Godsend” said Marcy McCann the inspiration behind the gallery. “She’s done a fabulous job bringing the various artist’s work together into a cohesive collection. The colors, textures and types of work create an feast for the eyes.” she said.

Diane Artz Furlong a life long native of Strasburg said “I’ve been waiting my whole life for this gallery to open. Painting is something I’ve done since my teens and now to be part of this makes me very proud.” It was Diane who came up with the name King Street Art Works. And at this trendy and hip little gallery she is right. King Street “art works” to enliven your soul, makes your spirit dance and will add excitement to your walls.

Ribbon cutting will be followed by the doors opening for the first time. The gallery located in the shared space with LtdPrints.com at 234 West King Street in Strasburg Virginia will be open Thursday, through Monday from 10 AM until 6 PM with the exception of Sunday when it will be open from 11 AM until 7 PM.
