The Washington Street Artists' Cooperative will offer an opportunity for visitors to Charles Town to observe and interact with an artist at work monthly through September. 

Artists will be working in a variety of media from drawing to painting to photography to furniture decoration and wood working and porcelain carving. The upcoming schedule features macro photography with Mary Jo Bennett on July 14.

On Aug. 11, Malcolm Hally will have multimedia constructions, and Sept. 8 will feature Joe Bourgeois, wood working and Martha LeRoi, carving porcelain.

The monthly sessions are informal and gallery visitors are invited to sit and watch each artist and ask questions about materials or technique or how an artist makes decisions as he or she works. Hours are from 2-5 p.m. The Gallery is located at 235 Washington Street in Charles Town.
