Pet Portraits with Elizabeth Graeber
Main Gallery
Saturday, October 11
11:00 am - 3:00 pm

We are thrilled to have Elizabeth Graeber back at Quirk for another live portrait event! Sign up to have a live portrait done showcasing your beloved pet, or featuring you and your pet together!

Each portrait session lasts about 15-20 minutes, and Elizabeth is prepared to work from a photo for any pets that aren’t able to make it in or are a little too squirmy. These 8 x 10” paintings are done with gouache and watercolor paint, which you can take home that day as soon as they are dry!

We will have time slots from 11:00-3:00 pm. Tickets are available through our online shop

Take a chance on Peace

To celebrate 10 years of art and creativity at Quirk Hotel, we’ve invited some of our favorite artists to craft delectable sculptural cakes, each a one-of-a-kind creation made in the spirit of peace.

The cakes will be on display in the hotel lobby, and for just $10, you can purchase a raffle ticket for the chance to take one home. Tickets will be available in the gallery during business hours—so stop by, choose your favorite treat, and join the celebration!
 

All proceeds will benefit the Richmond Peace Education Center.
