The Berkeley Arts Council Artist Directory (www.berkeleyartswv.org/directory) was updated to include several additional artists. The Directory is a listing of visual artists, artisans, performing artists, writers and other members of the creative community. 33 Berkeley County artists are now listed.

Free listings are available for visual artists, artisans, musicians, performing artists, writers, theatre technicians, or graphic artists who live or creates their art form in Berkeley County.

The directory is a resource for businesses and organizations wishing to exhibit and display local art, to commission artwork for a specific purpose, or to identify artists and artisans who can provide instruction in their medium.

Berkeley County artists are encouraged to create their own free listings in the Directory by submitting their information on the Berkeley Arts Council website at www.berkeleyartswv.org/directory. Forms will also be available at Berkeley Arts Council events, including exhibits and workshops. Enrollment is open to those living or creating their art in Berkeley County.

The location of the recent Holiday Art and Craft Market has been turned into an open air gallery at 116 North Queen Street. With the generous permission of property owner Carlos Niederhauser, we have installed paintings by Paul Berryhill and pottery and paintings by Hilda Eiber in the windows of the empty storefront.
