Friends of Old Town celebrates and enhances Old Town Winchester through local events, public art, and design projects.

Main Street Masterpieces

Main Street Masterpieces is a rotating window gallery program that transforms vacant storefronts into vibrant art displays. Curated by local artists and illuminated for nighttime viewing, each installation brings creativity and energy to Old Town while supporting our mission to make downtown more welcoming and engaging. QR codes at each display connect visitors to artist information and our community partners, turning empty spaces into opportunities for connection, storytelling, and inspiration.

Zach Andersen

Born and raised in northern Utah, Zachary Andersen’s deep appreciation for nature stems from early outdoor experiences, including summers in Grand Teton and Yellowstone. His art reflects this reverence, aiming to portray subjects’ inherent character through light, form, and color. Characterized by high-saturated underpaintings and a blend of impressionism and realism, Zach’s work invites personal interpretation. With degrees in architecture and fine arts from The University of Utah, Zach has honed his skills across various mediums, primarily oil, creating evocative landscapes and portraits. He currently lives and works in Winchester, Virginia, with his wife, Caitlin.
