Business Spotlight: Artist Collective of Washington & Art Studio ’81
Meet Florence Jones, the heart behind the Artist Collective of Washington and Art Studio ’81 in Old Town Warrenton. Her mission is simple but powerful: create a space where local artists can sell their work, offer classes, and let the community experience art being made in real time.
At the studio, visitors can browse and purchase original local art. The Collective includes both resident members, who display their work year‑round, and visiting members, who rotate in monthly—meaning there’s always something new to discover.
Florence was inspired to open the space after searching for a place to share her mother’s artwork and wanting to spark more life and foot traffic in Old Town. Beyond showcasing art, she hopes the studio encourages people to come out, connect, and enjoy creativity together.
She also loves being part of Warrenton’s art community, a diverse group of people with rich experiences and backgrounds. “It’s an interesting group to surround yourself with,” she shares.
Running a small arts space isn’t easy, especially with high rents and no payroll, but Florence believes deeply in socially responsible businesses ventures that support people and break even while making a positive impact. The Collective is built on that philosophy, giving artists space to work, teach, and sell.
Be sure to check out their monthly “Meet the Artist” events, featuring a different local artist each time. The full year is already scheduled, and every month brings a unique perspective.
Florence is also developing a year‑round version of a studio tour, connecting visitors with artists across the region. Visitors will soon be able to pick up a map or check the website to explore affiliated artists and their studios.
