"Taking in the View" by Maria Reardon
From the 2023 Bath County Arts Show
We’re thrilled to announce that Sage has joined us as the very first Executive Director of The BEAR, our new cultural arts center for the community opening later this summer in downtown Hot Springs.
Sage, her husband, William Barden, and their cat, Mally, are relocating from Charlottesville and getting settled into Bath County. We’re so excited to welcome them back to Bath County as we prepare to launch a full calendar of classes, exhibits, workshops, and more.
