The Montgomery Museum of Art & History will host its annual Arts❤️NRV Market on Friday, June 7 from 12:00 PM - 6:30 PM, and Saturday, June 8 from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. This event will also feature the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’ (VMFA) On the Road Traveling Museum Artmobile, a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled trailer equipped with Wi-Fi and interactive components that meet 21st-century expectations. Arts❤️NRV Market is presented by Floored, your Christiansburg, VA flooring experts. The Market will feature over 30 regional art and crafts vendors with artwork for sale and local art demonstrators on display. This event will also feature a wine garden, delicious food from Copper Dog and Co. food truck, and an arts-based raffle. The VMFA On the Road Traveling Museum Truck meets residents of the Commonwealth where they are, inviting them to step inside and experience authentic works of art from VMFA’s collection up close and in person. VMFA On the Road is traveling to all corners of Virginia. The stops are selected from among the museum’s Statewide Partners program, which includes 1,000 locations, from community centers and small museums to colleges and universities. The VMFA is bringing their “Love, Laughter, Tears: An Artist’s Guide to Emotions” exhibit to the Montgomery Museum during the Arts❤️NRV Market.
On June 7, after the market closes, the museum will host “Paint like Picasso!,” a painting class led by Ruth Lefko Art and David Ferrell Art & Photography. The cost is $45, including canvas, materials, and one glass of wine. Limited additional wine may be purchased at the event. Finished paintings will be displayed at the museum after the market concludes. This event is for adults only, with a limit of 18 participants. Register here: https://bit.ly/3Su8ory.
