Hayloft Gallery
Visitors and the artist enjoy The Crown Clown Prince of Gourdomania
The Hayloft Gallery is located in the upper level of our renovated barn. Its arched ceiling gives a sense of spaciousness that makes it one of the best showrooms in southwest Virginia. Climate control makes it a safe place for all media.
The mission of the Hayloft Gallery is to provide an aesthetic environment to showcase the work of local and regional artists and artisans, to encourage, inspire and educate the growing artist and the public as to the value and importance of creative expression in a rural mountain culture, and to contribute to the quality and diversity of the local economy.

Scenes from Behind the Wall: Images of East Germany, 1989/90
Friday, February 3- Saturday, February 25th
A reception and gallery walk will be held on February 4 from 2-4pm. Barbara and Clemens von Claparede-Crola will conduct the gallery walk and discuss their first-hand experience of living in Germany during these trying times.
Children at the Wall, West Berlin
The photographs in Scenes from Behind the Wall were created during an eight-day trip through East Germany in December and January 1989-90 during the waning days of Communism. This exhibition has traveled throughout the Commonweath of Virginia and has been exhibited at the Virginia Museum for Fine Arts in Richmond. It has served as a vehicle for presenting sensitive and revealing views of a nation that was on the verge of reunification. Photographs were taken by American photographer Page Chichester and Helmut Brinkman, a German photographer. Travelogue/Dialogue was written by Page Chichester and Katharina Giebel-Chichester. Katharina, an artist and West German native, composed the second part of the commentary in the catalogue as a recollection of growing up with memories of the Berlin Wall.
