ArtBerkeley, Inc.
ArtBerkeley, Inc. is a non-profit membership organization of artists based in Martinsburg, West Virginia. The mission of the ArtBerkeley is to enhance the Arts Community in Berkeley County, West Virginia and the surrounding region by developing resources for artists of all disciplines, facilitating Arts related exhibitions and events, encouraging Arts education, and promoting cooperation among all arts organizations in the region. We are an organization of artists and for artists. We invite creative individuals of all disciplines, from painters, sculptors, weavers, and artisans, to writers, poets, actors, musicians, and everything in between to join us as we build a vibrant Arts community in Martinsburg and the surrounding region and in the process we are looking for ways to revitalize downtown Martinsburg through the Arts. We are just getting started, so check back here often for news of our exhibits, performances, and other activities. The 2009 ArtBerkeley Earth Day Festival is now history! For updates on the 2010 Festival watch our Earth Day Page.Window on Earth Day
In celebration of EarthDay, local mural painter Ruth Hagen has created a “Forest” in a large store window in the central block of downtown Martinsburg. Based on West Virginia foliage, the 8 ft. mural creates the illusion of deep space – so passers-by can imagine themselves walking the cool path painted through the trees. Next to this “forest” at 110 Queen Street will be a window filled with exhibits by participants in Art Berkeley’s Earth Day Festival. A “grand opening” for both Earth Day Windows was held on Saturday, April 11 – drawing attention to the Festival the following week.
