About the Festival

The Workhouse Arts Center will presented the 2^nd Annual Art, Wine & All That Jazz Festival on October 2, 2010!  The festival followed in the footsteps of many historic performances at the Workhouse.  During the 1950s and 1960s, the famous Lorton Prison was the setting for regular concerts by musical stars such as Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Johnny Hodges, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. The Workhouse welcomed back a few favorites along with a range of new and exciting talent!

Lisa Berigan of Washington’s BIG 100.3FM acted as the official host of Art, Wine and All That Jazz! Guests will had the chance to participate in jazz trivia contests, a silent auction, raffles for art, wine and other fabulous giveaways throughout the day.  Wine tastings and fabulous food were available, along with children’s activities in the Kid Zone.  Between performances, exciting lectures on art and wine took place in Gallery Building W-16 on the 2nd floor.

At the festival, guests experienced a variety of delicious food vendors and fabulous wine to choose from.  As visitors wandered the Workhouse’s expansive grounds between performances, they visited booths in the Marketplace, and interacted with more than 125 artists while they worked.  Each ticket included commemorative wine glass, unlimited wine tastings and access to all jazz performances.  A VIP Ticket included an intimate setting inside the VIP Jazz Café, exclusive front row seating in the Performance Tent, valet parking, performer access and a seat at the Chef’s Table, hosted by Workhouse Chef Kathleen Linton.
