Lorton, Va. — The Lorton Workhouse Arts Center is growing and some special guests will be able to find out how big the popular arts outpost will become.
An event on Saturday, Sept. 10 open to members of the Occoquan River Communities, will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. where they’ll be able to learn about the center’s expansion.
