Located on the Rappahannock River, the city is midway between the American Civil War capitals Richmond, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Friendly associations abound from Fredericksburg's art scene. The artists in this first volume meet socially every month to share their current works-in-progress and to encourage each other, both as artists and as great friends. Throughout Artists of Fredericksburg, Volume One, the diverse creativity of these ten visual artists is testament to the enthusiasm and professionalism of Fredericksburg's thriving arts community.
