If you’ve been renting and wondering if buying a home is even realistic for you, this workshop will give you a clear answer.
Most people I talk to think they need perfect credit, a large down payment, or years of preparation before they can even consider buying. In reality, many of them are much closer than they think, they just don’t have the right information.
In this free, in-person workshop, we’ll walk through exactly what it takes to buy your first home in today’s market, using real examples and straightforward explanations. You’ll leave knowing what’s possible for your situation and what your next step would be if you decide to move forward.

This is not a sales pitch or a commitment, it’s simply a chance to get clarity so you can stop guessing and start making informed decisions.

The Shenandoah Valley Art Center’s featured exhibit at the Virginia Ross Invitational Gallery is IMPRINT: Contemporary Explorations in Printmaking. This juried exhibition is designed to showcase the remarkable breadth of contemporary printmaking—from traditional methods reimagined through new approaches to boundary-pushing explorations of process and material. The exhibition presents work from nationwide artists, especially those throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States who demonstrate a deep engagement with the medium while challenging conventional expectations of what a print can be. By bringing together artists working across a wide spectrum of print-based practices, IMPRINT seeks to foster dialogue, encourage experimentation, and celebrate the enduring relevance and creative potential of the printed mark. Submissions were reviewed by the IMPRINT Exhibition Standards Committee, chaired by Lana Lambert (Corcoran School of the Arts and Design; California Institute of the Arts). The committee was composed of experienced printmakers and arts professionals dedicated to recognizing excellence and innovation in contemporary printmaking. While SVAC has a longstanding history of exhibiting printmaking and supporting printmakers through its studio programs, IMPRINT marks the center's first juried exhibition dedicated specifically to exploring the evolving landscape of contemporary printmaking through innovations that shape the field today. The exhibition opening will be held September 4, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. Guests are invited to come and meet the artists! The exhibition is open to the public September 4 – October 31, Tuesday – Thursday, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., 416 W.
