Our artists, the reason to celebrate our festival, filled our clubhouse and grounds with their latest work.

From paintings to pottery, quilts to jewelry and sculpture, we enjoyed the color, texture, form and feeling which art brings to our lives.

We have a strong community of artists in Williamsburg.  And many active in our Williamsburg arts community are also our neighbors, or our former neighbors, here in Kingspoint.  We are happy to have the opportunity to to meet and visit with them, and to view and purchase their current works, right here in our own Kingspoint Clubhouse.

 

Jean Hess has strong ties to our Kingspoint neighborhood.  Her work remains on permanent display in our clubhouse.

 

We also have a strong community of volunteers.  We appreciate the support of so many willing neighbors who helped make this event possible. 

Working together, we created a memorable and successful day. 

“Thank you!” to all of the friends, family, neighbors, and visitors who shared some part of the day with us.

Timothy Seaman

Solo Acoustic Dulcimer and Flutes

Timothy Seaman, musician, songwriter, teacher and naturalist,  has been a Williamsburg resident for more than 40 years.

An internationally known recording artist, he currently has 15 CD recordings in his discography.  He is known for his distinctive, compelling, and passionate instrumental music on hammered dulcimer and flute.

Tim’s music is a unique blend of styles.  He has developed his own techniques with the hammered dulcimer to weave melodies ranging from traditional folk tunes to well loved hymns. His recordings also include numerous original compositions.

Much of Tim’s music has a distinctive Virginia  theme.  He has composed music to express the unique qualities of our many National Parks and to capture the flavor of important periods of our history.

Timothy’s CDs include:  Jamestown: On the Edge of a Vast Continent (2006), Celtic Airs (2010), Virginia Wildlife (2004), Here On This Ridge (1997), and Gentle Breeze Beneath The Trees (2011).  His latest CD, Tenting on the Old Camp Ground (2012) includes 44 tunes from the mid- 1860s which were popular at the time of our War Between the States.

Tim’s CDs feature a number of familiar guest artists, including Ardie Boggs, Bill Gurley, Ann Robinson, and Phillip Skeens.

Timothy will perform throughout the day at our Kingspoint Art and Ale 2014, will offer his CDs for sale, and will be available to demonstrate his hammered dulcimer to interested music lovers.  Many neighbors still have fond memories of Timothy’s previous concert in  our Kingspoint Clubhouse  in February of 2012.

This is a very special opportunity for our community to meet  Timothy and enjoy his  music.  He will perform on the deck, overlooking beautiful College Creek, throughout the day.
