We are excited to have someone help us organize our small in-studio "library" of art books! Students of the Beverley Street Studio School like to look at our extensive collection of art books, but right now they are all piled haphazardly in two large bookshelves in our studios. There are about 100 books, so we estimate it will take one creative and organized person about two hours to come up with a system of organizing and cataloging the collection. You can do this for us as it suits your schedule during weekly business hours. We look forward to hearing from you!

Mission Statement
Located in the historic district of downtown Staunton, Virginia, Beverley Street Studio School (BSSS) has adopted as its mission "providing the community and region with a variety of opportunities to explore the world of the visual arts through practice, professional instruction, and contact with practicing artists".
Description
Founded in 1992, Beverley Street Studio School (BSSS) began with a group of five professional artists who sought to establish a studio art school that would provide an opportunity for those in the region to engage in art training in a collaborative and nurturing fashion. The emphasis in instruction is working from direct observation, whether in a plein air setting or within the studio classrooms. It is now an established organization and integral part of the local and regional cultural community. The School distinguishes itself from other art organizations in the region by offering year round non-degree college-level art classes to the serious art student. In addition to the core curriculum and as part of the School’s mission to make art accessible to everyone in the community, BSSS offers: an art gallery with rotating exhibits by guest artists, instructors and students; several offsite exhibit opportunities; a high quality Travel Study program; Open Session figure drawing; and numerous free community programs including monitored art discussions, lectures, and peer critiques.
BSSS is a non-profit organization led by a Board of Trustees, Executive Director, and Administrative Assistant with assistance from many volunteers. It is supported in part by the Virginia Commission of the Arts and the National Endowment for The Arts. There are over 250 members, 50 volunteers, and approximately 120 active students.
