Before the engines.
Before the music.
Before the crowds.
This is what was waiting.
Southwest Virginia.

Today, Haus of Taylor was filled with courage.

To every young artist who participated in My Light, My Mountains, thank you for being brave enough to share your work, your voice, and your light with us.

Whether you received an award or simply saw your artwork hanging on a gallery wall, you did something special.

You stepped forward.

We are so proud of each of you, and grateful to every family, teacher, and friend who came out to support these rising artists.

The future of these mountains is bright.

A different kind of exhibit.

Now announcing: What We Kept

Every family kept something.

A photograph.
A recipe.
A letter.
A tool worn smooth by work.
A small object that still carries the weight of a life, a place, or a memory.

This August, Haus of Taylor Gallery will open What We Kept, a community memory exhibition built from the objects, photographs, and stories that still carry meaning in Southwest Virginia. In Collaboration with the Tazewell County Historical Society.

We are beginning the process now of gathering stories, inviting community submissions, and welcoming sponsors who want to help preserve the cultural memory of this region.

If your family has something tucked away that deserves to be remembered, this exhibition may be for you.

Visit the website to learn more, submit a story or object, or explore sponsorship opportunities.

Opening Reception: Saturday, August 1, 2026
Location: Haus of Taylor Gallery, Tazewell, Virginia

Teaching a new dog some old tricks. 😉

Every time a new business opens, hosts an event, renovates a building, or simply unlocks the front door each morning, it does something bigger than sell a product or service.

It makes a statement.

It says this town is worth believing in.

None of us will build a perfect Main Street. We will make mistakes. We will try things that work and things that don’t. But there is something deeply admirable about the people who looked at the mountains they grew up around, the streets they walked as children, and decided to spend part of their lives adding something back.

That’s not always about profit.

Sometimes it’s about pride.

Sometimes it’s about preserving a place that shaped you.

Sometimes it’s about making sure the next generation has a reason to stay, visit, return, or simply remember.

The businesses, artists, musicians, restaurant owners, shopkeepers, investors, volunteers, and dreamers who continue pouring themselves into Southwest Virginia deserve more credit than they often receive. Every one of them is helping write another chapter in a story that refuses to end.

Tazewell has never been a town that gives up easily.

And maybe that’s why so many people keep finding new reasons to believe in it.

The latest story from Wayfarer Appalachia is a reminder that sometimes the sounds of a town tell us just as much as its history.

Read it here:

From bluegrass and country to jazz, soul, blues, Celtic roots, reggae, and songwriter nights, Wayfarer brings live music to Historic Main Street in Tazewell.

Paint Lick Mountain, Tazewell County, Virginia!

Nature doesn’t mass-produce the best things. Less than 2% of the world has natural red hair, and somehow I still ended up finding the rarest one of all.

That green jumpsuit against that ’79 silver steel at dusk? That’s not a photo. That’s a whole era standing still.

Happy World Redhead Day.
