Spending time with Dan Finnegan gave us the opportunity to talk about his work as a potter and learn about the creation of one of the largest art centers in this area, the LibertyTown Arts Workshop.  Debby Klein talks with Dan about the diverse artists whose studios occupy LibertyTown and the many opportunities available to all who visit there on CRRL Presents, a Central Rappahannock Regional Library production. This interview was recorded in 2008.

Works by Nancie Harris will be on display in the Headquarters Library Atrium Gallery through November.

Watercolors by "Joan's Awesome Students" were on display in the Headquarters Library Atrium Gallery during October.

We had a great turnout at Headquarters Library for the opening reception of Uniquely Fredericksburg 2012 on Friday, August 3.  Be sure to stop by before the end of September to see the show.
