AS SEEN ON PBS . . .Marking the 150 anniversary of the death of Abraham Lincoln, GRANVILLE VAN DUSEN brings his acclaimed PBS production of the one-man play The Memoirs of Abraham Lincoln to the Totem Pole Playhouse stage for his farewell performance as the nation’s sixteenth president. Written by playwright Peter King Beach and directed by Academy Award-winning Best Director, Delbert Mann, the play had its World Premiere 25 years ago at nearby Gettysburg College’s Kline Theatre. The play is a refreshing portrait of one of our country’s most beloved presidents; spanning his early years as a country lawyer, to the troubling times of the Civil War. Suitable for audiences of all ages.
JULY 31 - AUGUST 16

Gallery 50 Opening
H
igh quality, curated art remains the standard for Destination ARTS!, coupled with live music, artist demonstrations, and special events — all offered free to the public. Where other communities offer a “First Friday” once a month, Waynesboro presents free live music every single weekend, all year long. During our summer expansion, we will again offer live music every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from July to October in Waynesboro’s Center Square! Children’s activities and family-friendly educational opportunities abound, including our Art Scavenger Hunt and magic shows. Local authors are spotlighted with book signings and publication parties, and special events include our Second Annual Gallery Wine Walk, scheduled for September 12 and focusing on the art of winemaking. In all, hundreds of artists, authors, and musicians have been featured in downtown Waynesboro! Currently, Destination ARTS! includes five very active year-round art venues: Gallery 50 features numerous works of art, sculpture, jewelry and other media. Gallery 20 East specializes in photography, graphic arts, rotating shows of contemporary art, and special exhibits such as two in May featuring talented artists and musicians from Waynesboro Area Senior High School and retirees from Quincy Village. The Ceramic Arts Center of Waynesboro with its Guild allows for creative expression in clay, and offers a variety of activities and classes for all ages. www. va l leyrev ue . co m
42 West Arts Co-op features our talented local artists who create art work in a variety of mediums and also offers instruction in many of those styles. The Contemporary School of the Arts and Gallery offers instruction and classes for children as well as exhibits and special events. We are not resting on our laurels! Destination ARTS! is now sponsoring two monthly forums which bring together writers and songwriters from around the region, giving them a venue to meet, share their work, and collaborate. Plus, in partnership with the Waynesboro Council of Churches, we’re planning a communitybuilding musical collaboration to unveil in December. What’s more, we are working on an exciting NEW initiative Destination INNOVATION! This project, which we hope to launch later this summer or fall, will explore the past, present, and future of innovation in Waynesboro, with a focus on creativity, imagination, innovation, and design. Innovation is the core of Waynesboro’s heritage and one of the keys to its future. Destination INNOVATION! will feature demonstrations and interactive displays of 3D Printing, Robotics, and 3D Holograms, plus examples of work being manufactured by active local industries, and historical displays from our rich innovative past. We will also look to the future by incorporating the “maker” philosophy — “if you can imagine it, you can make it.” JULY 2015– 45th ann iversarY ! 11

he warm mineral waters of Berkeley Springs have drawn visitors over the centuries from Native Americans to colonial notables like George Washington to today's travelers looking for stress relief and a quirky respite from daily routine. The waters flow at a constant 74 degrees in a small state park in the heart of the historic town. They are freely available for the taking from a public tap or for wading in the largest open display of spring waters in the Blue Ridge. A thriving spa community has grown up around the springs. Berkeley Springs boasts three times as many massage therapists as lawyers with a menu of more than 50 cutting edge spa treatments available daily to 21st century health seekers.
W E S T V I R G I N I A
Wander charming and peaceful streets in the National Historic District within the 1776 town boundaries around the springs and indulge in all the pleasures of a nationally recognized art town from distinctive shops, galleries and antique malls to fine dining restaurants. Whether you are captivated by the vintage movie house or the Victorian castle on a hill overlooking the town or the Sunday Farmers Market, there is no mistaking Berkeley Springs for someplace else.
