About Art Studio 81

We operate a shared artist studio space and gallery for local artists in Fauquier County, VA (and close by). Our space displays local art for sale to the public in a gallery setting, and we provide local artists access to our shared studio space and classroom space.

We offer classes and workshops as "Art Socials" - events where people can gather to create art in a relaxed, communal atmosphere space for a few hours.

Low Pressure: You don't need to be an "artist." The focus is on the experience and the conversation, not the final masterpiece.

Creative Outlet: It provides a digital detox and a way to work with your hands.

Built-in Activity: It takes the "awkwardness" out of socializing because there is a shared task to focus on.
