Oldway Art Center is a growing art community that offers
classes and workshops, studio space, and provides educational
field trips . Oldway is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge
Mountains adjacent to Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive,
In Sperryville, Va., 70 Miles West of Washington D.C.
Oldway is a small and growing artist
community that offers various art classes and workshops, provides
educational field trips for schools and organizations, studio
space for artists, and is also the home of Glassworks Gallery,
our large and absolutely unique art gallery. In existence since
1984, Oldway has blossomed on the site of the former 26 acre Sperryville
truck junkyard . After years of clean up, remodeling, and the
addition of 3 new buildings, Oldway is still a work in progress,
but is starting to snowball into a full blown art community.
