Lodging
We are fast at work recruiting places for artists to crash at the end of a long day. The list below should help in your search. For information, contact hickey@va.metrocast.net. While we try to keep this updated, please check with them for current information.
** Due to COVID - The Host Home and Christ Church lodging options are not available this year.
Home Host Program - Urbanna and the surrounding area is a lovely small rural area with a community of warm and friendly folk, many of whom offer our artists a home stay experience for the week-end of the Spring art show. It will not be a full service bed and breakfast, so we cannot commit to anything other than a comfortable bedroom and a welcoming hand. Our feedback on this program: Artists and host families both enjoy this experience. Limited to Friday and/or Saturday night unless otherwise prearranged directly with the host family. Special accommodations must also be prearranged,
To request a host home or for more information contact Jeanette Sharp at hickey@va.metrocast.net.
Christchurch School Dormitory Space
Dormitory rooms are available on the beautiful Christchurch campus located on the Rappahannock River. The school is near the site of the show. Dormitory rooms have two twin beds, two dressers and two desks. There is a shared hall bathroom on each hall.
