Occoquan, Va. —The Unwrap the Magic art collection is presents the images of all of the wonderful things that make up winter and the Christmas season.

The exhibit is located in the Artists’ Undertaking Gallery, located at 309 Mill Street in Occoquan. This art gallery has been a fixture in Occoquan since 1977, and is known for doing yearly art collections to commemorate the Christmas season.

All of the images are based off of the premise of the beauty of winter and the holidays.

“The collection is meant to unwrap the magic of our artistic people,” and Jane Ernst, a local artist who has been involved with the art gallery since 2000.

This group of local talent includes, Steve Myles, David Ernst, Bob Horowitz, Jack Dyer, Gerry Gantt, Marianne Cordyack and Ernst.

One of the most unique components of this art collection is all of the different mediums being used to express this holiday theme. On your trip to the gallery for Unwrap the Magic, expect to see encaustics, pastels, jewelry, acrylic, oil, fused glass, etchings and photographs represented.

The artists are anticipating a great turnout for Unwrap the Magic, and a reception will be hosted on Saturday Dec. 10, from 2 to 6 p.m., where patrons will be able to view the collection, and meet the artists as well.

For more information about the reception and the Unwrap the Magic exhibit, please check out their website.
