About
From Firnew Founder and Director Trish Crowe:
Firnew Farm Artists Circle (FFAC) is pleased to announce its 2026 partnership with Graves Mill Farm (GMF).
FFAC, a group of dedicated Virginian artists, have been working together for over twenty years in the Milking Parlor Studio and exhibiting in the Firnew Barn Gallery. Beginning in January, GMF will host the artists’ monthly gathering. Like Firnew, GMF is nestled against the Blue Ridge Mountains and set amongst the rolling hills of the Piedmont.
As well as hosting FFAC this year, GMF will offer two 1-week Artists Residencies by application only. The residency includes studio, lodging and meals. Artists from everywhere are encouraged to apply.
The Firnew Farm Artists Circle will host its annual exhibition this August 2026 at the Baker Gallery at
Woodberry Forest School.
Graves Mill Farm offers land based arts, education and hospitality. Learn more about GMF at https://www.gravesmillfarm.
