One of Northern Virginia’s most anticipated shopping events is relocating to the area — the Old Lucketts Store in Leesburg is moving its annual Spring Market to the Clarke County Fairgrounds. The event, which takes place May 19 - 21, hosts 200 “vintage hip” vendors from across the U.S., plus live music, beer gardens, food trucks, and lots of fabulous finds. Some of the treasures you can expect to discover over the three-day event include painted furniture, vintage garden gems, architectural salvage, and vintage and antique oddities. More than 8,000 people make the trek each year to this much-anticipated event. The owners made the change because the land where they held the event was sold, leading them to look for a new location. They discovered the Clarke County Fairgrounds would make an ideal new location, with its indoor facilities (in case of inclement weather), extra space, parking, and charming character. As the saying goes, their loss is our gain.

GINGERWOLF DISTILLERY We give you a sneak peek of the soon-to-open distillery by JENNY BAKER photography by SCOTT MASON
Home sweet home at Wayside Theatre
Opening date
Gingerwolf Distillery was actually named Winchester Distillery when original owners Josh Cohen and Brett Wolfington conceived the idea, because they had planned to open the business in Winchester. However, due to an old Prohibition-era law which didn’t allow residential spaces above a distillery, they had to look elsewhere — most of the buildings in Winchester’s historic area are residential on the floors above. That ultimately led the duo to the former Wayside Theatre on Main Street in Middletown, which had been in foreclosure for over three years. Cohen said the building was perfect — it had the square footage, was concrete, and there was a restaurant space.
The number one question everyone wants to know: when will Gingerwolf Distillery open? Cohen says they are planning for the end of May or early June. A few months ago they brought on a new business partner, Ming Chan, owner of Chinatown Restaurant in Winchester. Thanks to the partnership, they are able to invest more into the business; they now have all the equipment needed to make the spirits they plan to carry. “It changed what the business is, could be, and is going to be, and allowed us to capitalize on it much, much quicker. It was a great partnering,” said Cohen.
What they’ll make
Grain to bottle philosophy
They’ll eventually make everything except tequila and scotch. To start, Cohen said they’ll focus on clear liquors like vodka, gin, clear rum, and possibly moonshine. They’ll then get into aged spirits after a year — whiskeys, bourbons, brandies. You’ll be able to taste their crafts at the distillery in their mezzanine tasting room, the theater’s original mezzanine, which had over 50 seats. Windows have been installed, where patrons can look out over the production process, since by law patrons cannot go into the distillery area. Cohen said they are focused on offering a great tasting experience. Instead of a long bar, you’ll have smaller serpentine bars for a more pod-like experience where the bartender can better engage with the clientele. The mezzanine will not be completed until mid-summer. When the distillery opens, tastings will instead be served in The Den, the former Curtain Call café at the theater, alongside light pub fare. The Den had previously opened as a restaurant last July, but Cohen said they decided to close it in September because the restaurant business was distracting them from getting the distillery completed. Once the mezzanine opens as the tasting room, The Den will reopen as an Americana pub serving the full menu it originally had last summer.
While they don’t grow their own grains, they do source everything from local farms. “We literally go out and hand-pick our grains, we hand-pick our apples,” explained Cohen. “Our goal is to capture the Blue Ridge experience in our spirits, because the flavor profile we have here, the history we have here, you can really capture that.” One way to make their spirits unique to the area is to use the region’s most famous crop — the apple. Cohen said that roughly 80 percent of their spirits will utilize apples in some form, while the remaining will be labeled as “straight.” Cohen feels that apples make everything taste smoother, mitigating the familiar ethanol taste that many mass-produced liquors possess.
Eyes on Winchester
Master distiller Josh Cohen inside what used to be the theater’s seating area, now the production area of the distillery
Thanks to a recent change in the same law that hindered them from locating in Winchester originally, they are now able to explore opening a microdistillery in the Old Town area. Cohen said that Middletown will always be their production facility, but that they would like to produce small batches in a Winchester retail facility. Stay tuned.
Know-how + cutting edge Cohen has been making his own spirits for many years thanks to a 10-gallon “hillbilly still” he owns. He and his business partners have visited most of the distilleries in Virginia, Pennsylvania and DC for research, and recently returned from the American Craft Spirits Association’s Distillers Convention in Nashville. It was at that convention that they first showed photos of their 210-gallon still that they built, designed, and engineered in-house to major manufacturers of distilling equipment. They had never seen anything like it before, said Cohen. Whereas most stills are limited to doing only gin or vodka, Gingerwolf Distillery’s still can do it all. “We don’t ever want to ever be hindered by what the market trend at that moment is doing,” explained Cohen.

THE STATE of the
ARTS by JENNY BAKER photography by GINGER PERRY, SCOTT MASON
cover story On a balmy day in late February, six artists and art industry professionals gathered at The Gray Gallery in Old Town Winchester for a roundtable discussion about the past, present, and future of the visual arts in Winchester. Here are some highlights from that conversation. Describe how the local arts scene has changed in the last 10+ years Kerr y Stavely: We moved here 12 years ago. The first thing I remember going to was the artist cartel show at the Shenandoah Arts Council (now ShenArts). That’s what you do as an artist, you go there. The Winchester Book Gallery, when Andy and Jennifer Gyurisin owned it, they started doing some small shows. I did a photography show there early on, and later the installation. Winslow McCagg: In 1990 I opened The Rear Window Gallery on Boscawen Street. I believe it was the same year the Shenandoah Arts Council started. . . but it was no doubt in the very beginning of any spark relating to the visual arts. I know the (Winchester) Little Theatre was already going, and Shenandoah University was coming up into the world. I lasted for essentially one year, nine shows, before the toll of making no money took its toll. Then it seemed like around five or six years ago new energy arrived, starting with Laura Lynn Wilkins photo gallery, TinTop, The Gray Gallery, and really, when I think about it, when the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley was conceived and built, also the arts council seemed to breathe more energy with Tracy Marlett at the helm, but it was simultaneous with a changing demographic, new blood, new professionals, new business, was pouring into Winchester. Kim Johnston: I’ve been here for six years and there was just the Shenandoah Arts Council, and the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley wasn’t doing contemporary arts yet, and there wasn’t much going on downtown. That’s when the Winchester Art Market came on, to bring in local artisans, we were trying to build something. Since I wasn’t seeing that — and I came from a larger city with music and art and theater— I wanted to immerse myself here and bring that here. Tammie Limoges: I don’t see it as thriving yet. We are getting there. We’re working towards that. I’ve been here for four years but came from a larger market, Denver and Boulder, where the arts are everywhere. It’s on every street corner, murals are everywhere, and street artists and musicians. Being here, a smaller area but with such historical significance for this community, the shift is probably taking a little longer for embracing art, because of the history here that is so significant. Dana Hand Evans: I was in Richmond for 17 years, I moved there from Philadelphia for graduate school. It was at the time, the bottom of the barrel, it was number one for murders. They had theater, the higher echelon of perform-
ing arts, but very little visual arts, just a few galleries. They started a First Fridays art walk but it was in an area that nobody would go to. Over that course of time it’s evolved, it’s become very rich, Virginia Commonwealth University is the number one public arts school in the nation. It’s amazing. I feel that Winchester is very much like that, and historically if you look at Winchester, it’s about about 30 years behind the curve from larger cities. The Valley is like a gateway. People would travel through the area and drop bits of culture, things from their own histories. The people who lived here pick it up and put it together in their own way. It’s wild to see Valley furniture and decorative arts from the 18th and 19th centuries. Artists still, here, reference the past and make it their own. Jaimianne Amicucci: That’s kind of what the art organizers are doing as well. We’ve come to the Valley and we’re here and patching it together.
What are the challenges for the arts here? Kim Johnston: If you tell someone you’re an artist, people automatically assume you are a starving artist. Tammie Limoges: There was an artist at ShenArts, and the person asked the artist, ‘Oh what do you do as your real job?’ The artist replied that this was their real job, they actually made a living at this. Then you saw the other person back-peddling. It was interesting, to watch that happen and the automatic assumption that you can’t make a living being a real artist. Kerr y Stavely: You have to be very dedicated. My husband Neil will get up at 3, 4 in the morning and then go to his job and then work at night on his art when we’re at home. I created my own business so I’m able to sometimes work on my art while I’m at the shop. Winslow McCagg: Just as a dog needs to be fed by its master, artists need patrons and patrons are almost certainly part of the fabric of the scene as the artists, whether it’s buying a comic book for 25 cents, or plunking down $10,000 for a painting one just can’t live without.
What do you feel holds Winchester back from having a better visual arts scene? Kim Johnston: The population here is about 25,000 and Frederick County around 100,000; but how many of those people are actually going to the shows and purchasing art? You probably have the same people coming to the shows and actually purchasing collections from different artists. . . I think public art can help drive that forward, people would be more attracted, tourists may come in more, people may move to our city more. We need to have some barriers moved with bureaucracy. If those barriers could come down, then public art could come up. Jaimianne Amicucci: Amuse (Art Fair) is a good example. It was in Old Town and now it’s at the MSV; this is because the logistics downtown make it a little more diffi-
cult than if we just partnered at the MSV. It’s still in Winchester, but not in the public area where people can see it on the walking mall... It’s also a risk. For smaller places to do these large projects, you don’t know if it’ll work out or not. We have seven units, we’d love to be able to move artists into them. But can we find the artists? Are they wanting to rent the space? Dana Hand Evans: People who come here to visit have this vision of the rolling green hills and picking apples for the weekend out. Drawing them in for arts is a challenge. Advertising-wise it is challenging. We’re probably one of the few (arts organizations) that have an advertising budget. The city and tourism, they are really pushing that green aspect — the river, the hiking and history. Which is great, it’s a huge part of what we are as a region, but partnering with them on the arts would be ideal. Tammie Limoges: Everyone I’ve been in contact with at the city is really supportive with wanting to work with us anyway they can. There are still a lot of hoops to jump through, including for them. Quite often, it’s just the way the rules are written. Is it worth it to go forward and take the time and effort to get them changed? It’s a continuous balancing of – “OK, we want to do this, but what we have to do to make it happen, it’s too difficult.” Kerr y Stavely: We were on a public art task force with Jennifer Bell of Old Town which ended up fizzling out because there was all of this red tape. Tammie Limoges: But as individuals, [city manager] Eden Freeman and Jennifer, everyone is very supportive of the arts. It’s sort of a “if you build it they will come.” If we had an art district it would become a destination. Kim Johnston: If the city could work on an arts budget, then maybe there will be fluidity in different branches. Going back to the logistics of the task force and arts policy, they want to support it, but because there isn’t a budget they kind of have to lightly tread on what they can tell you and what they can give. Dana Hand Evans: When we started working on our strategic plan in 2011, we spent a lot of time working with the city, Shenandoah University, the hospital. We didn’t want to duplicate, or fight for scarce resources and canceling each other out. The area we found to be our model was Knoxville, Tennessee and Bentonville, Arkansas which are two of my favorites cities. Their cities have really integrated not only their financial districts, but also arts, the music scene, and it required the arts to work together collaboratively. The goal is to take the 214 acres at the museum and transform it into Virginia’s largest art park. There’s limited resources with the city, they have state mandates they have to do. We’ve written numerous grants and the city manager and everyone supports it with letters of support. But financially it’s not there for them to do (this type of project).

If logistics and expenses were removed, what project would you like to see happen here? Tammie Limoges: I’d love to see an art district extend out from the end of the walking mall down to ShenArts. It could use some economic development in that area, and extending it would encourage artists to purchase those row homes and turn them into creative spaces, make it colorful. Other cities you see houses of different colors, sidewalk paints, and mural designs. Jaimianne Amicucci: I would love to see an artist relocation program, where towns incentivize artists to move to an area. We have affordable housing; we are concerned about our aesthetics like artists are. At our gallery, we bring in artists from DC and a number of them have asked about local real estate prices. To incentivize them would be incredible. Dana Hand Evans: There are fabulous artists who are here already. It’s promoting them, getting them exposure, making it so that they don’t have to have a day job. Winslow McCagg: I would love to see the MSV invoke the potential sculpture garden they have in mind. I think mural projects on decrepit walls would be incredible, and there are plenty; and I think the bigger institutions and companies should make a bigger effort to fill their blank walls and campuses with works of art, but that requires someone pushing at them. Kim Johnston: It would be amazing to get a community project at the MSV, there’s so much space. Different regional artists could come in and work on something collaboratively. It always comes back to which comes first, the community where if the artists can’t support themselves, then they can’t stay; but we also have to have the art to have people come in. Kerr y Stavely: I think it would be cool to do a Torpedo Factory kind of thing, at a place like ZeroPak or the Coca-Cola bottling place would have been neat. The Matress Factory in Pennsylvania, where an artist gets a section and they do an installation. Jaimianne Amicucci: I’d love to see another five galleries downtown.

What are your primary goals for improving the impact and visibility of the visual arts in Winchester? And what’s next? Dana Hand Evans: We need to collaborate among ourselves. I think we’re starting to get there but with everyone’s obligations and then you try to bring on another project, where’s the time? If we were a cohesive group of arts organizations who regularly work together, we would have more power with the tourism boards and the city, because we would have demonstrated impact. If you put it in dollar amounts, which we could do if we put our budgets together. . . Tourism supporting us would be a huge thing. Kerr y Stavely: We all as individuals or organizations need to work together and cross promote. I try to do that. One thing we’ve talked about is doing an actual art walk where it’s organized, same night, there’s a map, there’s some sort of card where people can hit all those locations. Kim Johnston: The Artisan Trail, we had a conference call yesterday, one thing they’ve talked about is creating something for all the trail members — agri-artisans, museums, galleries, artists, etc. — they are looking to create something here. To do something like this walk and maybe have shuttle buses in the future, so you can go to Clarke County. There are all kinds of great things going on there, Berryville is a great town for arts. Collaborating in those efforts is important.
