Bowman-Shannon Cultural Arts Center

Arts Center in Mt. Jackson, VA

In August, the Art Group in Mount Jackson moved to a larger building. It's still on Main Street (U.S. 11), and is now on the corner of Shannon Avenue.

We visited the building this week and were delighted with what we found. It is a beautifully restored house that was built in the early 20th century by a Mr. Shannon, with nice woodwork in the Craftsman style. Artwork is attractively displayed on three floors.

I had been craving a visit to an art gallery and was inspired by the quality of some of the items. A number of pieces depict scenes of the Shenandoah Valley or surrounding mountains. There were also some lovely pictures of Assateague Island.
