It was a field trip with a twist.

Instead of sightseers from Rappahannock driving into Washington, D. C., to visit the galleries and museums, traf-fic was reversed. On Saturday, the Smithsonian sent a busload of city folks to the country for a tour, one in a regular series of outings to artistic environs advertised in Smithsonian Magazine.

On behalf of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, director Laurie Marshall worked with Smithsonian representatives to arrange the itinerary. Stops included Jeanne Drevas’ pottery studio and hilltop home, “the house that Jeanne built," and Washington’s Community Center where Sally Nash was leading her dance troupe, The Last Minute Wood, Company, through rehearsal. The group lunched at Brambles Restaurant before strolling through town to Middle St. Gallery.

In Charlie Tompkins’ Mountain Railroad wing of the gallery, the tour continued, this time a visual tour of works by RAAC’s 12 calendar artists illustrating the depth and versatility of local talent.
