We would like to give participants the option of sharing their talent to improve lives of needy families in our area by beautifying their homes with artwork. Loisann’s Hope House provides a safe haven for homeless mothers and their children from Central Rappahannock region who want to learn the life skills needed to become self-sufficient. While art show participants are certainly not required to donate their artwork to Loisann’s Hope House, we will make donating as simple as possible for those who would like to do so. Simply leave your work at the library after May 13, and we will deliver the artwork to Loisann’s Hope House for you.
Past Winners & Honorees
For over 25 years, CRRL has provided a forum for area teen artists in grades 9-12 to be recognized for their talent. The library is proud to have established this unique opportunity for local students. It's not uncommon for library customers to be interested in purchasing the art or to commission new work.
