Great Falls Citizens Association and The Arts of Great Falls have teamed up to offer signature ornaments of Great Falls. It is the first of what is planned to be an annual series of ornaments that will highlight the many unique features of the community. The inaugural ornaments feature a watercolor painting of the “Great Falls of the Potomac” by local artist, Begoña Morton. Printed on wood, the ornament is being offered in two styles: a cutout design (4.4 inches wide) and an oval design (3.5 inches wide).
The ornaments will be on sale at The Artists’ Atelier for $20 each, cash or check only, beginning October 7 at the 1st Friday Art Walk, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm. Thereafter, ornaments can be purchased at The Artists’ Atelier weekly Open Studio hours on Wednesdays 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm and Saturdays 10:00 am – 2:00 p.m. Ornaments will also be sold during the Great Falls Studios Art Tour (October 21 – 23) and the Great Falls Studios Holiday Fest at the Artists’ Atelier (December 3 – 4). The Atelier is located at 756 Walker Road, in the Great Falls Village Center, near the Old Brogue. As a fundraiser for the non-profits, the proceeds will fund activities in both organizations.
