Two Maryland residents are jailed today in Stafford County after sheriff’s deputies were called to a home invasion in Aquia Harbour.
The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office states:
To all artists who use the sidewalk as their medium of choice, Stafford County wants you.
The Stafford County Economic Development and Tourism Board, the count's Museum and Cultural Center, and the North Stafford and Stafford Rotary clubs are currently looking for artists to participate in the county's first sidewalk art event known as Via Colori Stafford.
The groups are recruiting artists to participate in a Via Colori piece, where they will create a patchwork of different pastel murals to be drawn on the sidewalks. The art form is a modern version of a centuries-old tradition that can be traced back to 16th century Italy when artists would paint religious icons in the courtyards of cathedrals.
Artists will be given a square to paint in the commuter lot located off of Exit 140 in Stafford, where the public is invited to attend and watch the artists create their works.
Each square artist will be sponsored by a business, organization, or family with the proceeds, after expenses, to benefit the museum and various services in the region. The event is expected to have 100 artists from various arts organizations. So far, 40 have signed up for the event.
Stafford Economic and Tourism recently held an event in anticipation of Via Colori Stafford called Via Tutori for the artists that had already signed up, which gave them a primer on the art style by those experienced in the medium.
Via Colori Stafford will occur at the commuter lot off of Exit 140 in Stafford on Sept. 25 and 26 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. More information is available online.
Units with Stafford County Fire and Rescue were called to a house fire just after 6 p.m. on Friday, August 6 on Hoot Owl Road in the Widewater area.
The first arriving units found a single-story garage fully involved in fire. Units worked to extinguish the fire and determined multiple vehicles and a camper were also involved in the fire.
Happy Thursday, everyone.
