Ahhh, autumn — colorful leaves falling and colorful art rising. Kick off the festive season with the second annual “Best of the Piedmont,” a showcase of regional art sponsored by the Arts & Culture Center in Culpeper.

The newest ACC exhibition kicks off Thursday with a reception at the ACC gallery, 509 South Main Street in Culpeper. The receptionstarts at 5:30 p.m. and runs until 7 p.m. It is free, and the public is invited. Join friends and neighbors for an evening of light nibbles and exquisite art. The exhibit will be open every Saturday until December 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Like the Thursday reception, the exhibit is free.
