The premier juried art show in Middlesex County, Arts in the Middle, will be offered at Hewick Plantation near Urbanna this coming weekend. The art is something special by talented artists from the entire east coast. In addition to fine art, there will be music of all types on two stages. There is also a display of young local artists that is quite inspiring.
The Museums of Middlesex (MOM) will have the John Smith replica shallop, the Explorer, onsite to highlight Middlesex County’s rich history. Volunteers will be on hand to tell not only that history, but about building the replica shallop, about Captain John Smith, his explorations, and how Stingray Point got its name. Stop in and say, “Hello.”
The Museums of Middlesex (MOM) is an LLC formed in 2015 of four foundations and museums in Middlesex to work together increasing our tourism visibility and acquainting folks far and wide with Middlesex’s 350-year history and maritime heritage. MOM’s information table and canopy along with the Deltaville Maritime Museum’s Explorer will be located right at the main entrance.
The annual Arts in the Middle (AIM) Fine Arts Festival is open to all, with no admission fees, on Saturday, June 3, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, June 4, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. The festival site is Hewick Plantation, which is at 5123 Old Virginia St., just west of Urbanna. Parking is free, but a donation to help fund future festivals is appreciated, festival organizers say.
