With 2,000 square feet of display area, we showcase an array of artists working in all kinds of mediums to produce unique, edgy, and engaging contemporary pieces — all of them for sale.
In addition to our two packed floors of antiques, vintage, collectibles, and more in the Staunton Antiques Center, our upper level Artisans Loft offers a stunning look into the local art and artisan world in our region.
The Artisans Loft presents four juried and curated shows a year on a quarterly basis. Artists submit works and our board juries submissions for final selection.
When each new show opens, we host a Friday evening opening. Our openings are lively affairs including local live music, food, occasional theatricals, and merriment of all sorts. See our blog/events page for details on the current and next shows.
