Reception - blooms4good
Do Good: Building Community Through Flowers is a collaboration of six artists who understand the power of blooms and worked alongside each other to create this exhibit.
This exhibit will be on display in the Community Gallery from July 9 - August 30, 2025, with an opening reception on July 24. We invite you to view this collaborative exhibit and experience common ground through the universal language of flowers.
blooms4good is a small but mighty squad of flower growers in central Virginia committed to doing good in the community! As a volunteer-based nonprofit organization, they give every flower dollar to local charities, focusing on those who support marginalized groups. Their goal is to promote connection, understanding, empathy and to advocate for social change. They believe that tiny acts of goodness can make the world a better place, one bloom at a time.

Orange Painting Club
The Orange Painting Club meets every Wednesday at 11am. Whether you’re a beginner or have painted for years, this art club is for anyone who wants to explore watercolor painting with other community members.
Drop in and join the club! No formal membership or registration is required.
Open Jam Session
Come jam with us! Every second Wednesday, drop in to jam with local musicians and meet your fellow artists from 6 to 8 pm, join local musicians at the Arts Center in Orange for an open jam session. Bring your banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin—whatever acoustic instrument you have—to enjoy some time playing along with fellow musicians of all skill levels and backgrounds. On nice evenings, we’ll play in the garden out back; on other evenings we’ll move inside to the studio.
Guests and visitors are welcome to observe and enjoy the music, but please be respectful of the musicians. We will start out slowly so that people can learn the tunes together and feel where the music takes us. All are welcome, especially those just getting started playing together with other musicians.

All fiber arts welcome! The club meets every Wednesday. Whether you knit, crochet, sew, weave, or embroider, bring in what you are working on or start a new project while meeting new people.
