n October 2011, the newly formed Tappahannock Artists Guild opened the doors of the Tappahannock Art Gallery at the corner of Prince Street and Water Lane. It was established to provide “Art for the Community and a Community for Artists.” Since that time, the gallery has become a true community art center, providing an excellent venue for showcasing the work of local artists and for providing instruction and inspiration for the old and young alike.

The Tappahannock Artists Guild continues to be an official site on the “River to Bay Artisans Trail” linking the gallery with other art venues within the Middle Peninsula. This year TAG is offering exciting opportunities for our citizens and for those visiting our community. We are pleased to announce that TAG is sponsoring the second annual “Tidelands Plein Air Event,” which will be attended by more than 30 artists from the midAtlantic region. From April 1 to April 4, talented artists will capture the beauty
of our rivers, marshes, farms and historical architecture on their canvasses. Their work will be displayed for sale on Saturday, April 4 at the old Beale Memorial Church. TAG will also sponsor a Children’s Art Show April 15 to May 17 to share
