It takes a village. That’s true for raising children, but it’s also true for other things… like art! In the case of the Washington Street Artists Cooperative, local artists have been coming together since 2004 to encourage, support, challenge, and learn from each other as they share the process (and results) of creating masterpieces of beauty and creativity. And they welcome you to come to see the results at their gallery in Charles Town, West Virginia.

The Washington Street Artist Co-op show-cases beautiful art from a diverse group of skilled local artisans, like photographer Mary Jo Bennett.
