Good morning! Since Anita and I worked 3 years and lived apart for 4 to get this house turned into South Court Inn B&B (I had a friend’s basement room in the DC area during the week and came out to Luray on weekends, holiday and vacation time to work on the house and business, while Anita was here full time from Sept 1997 on.) we are always glad to share the success of somebody else’s dream come true. That and the fact that it is such a great artistic asset to the Town is why I choose to encourage you to make sure you visit the Warehouse Art Gallery every time you visit the Town of Luray.

The Warehouse Art Gallery was the dream of one man: Jim Mayes.  He opened the gallery in 2002 and has stuck with it through thick and thin.  He solicited artists to display at the gallery and has added more and more artists and types of art as time passed.  Today the gallery is a fantastic collection of art from artists across the Shenandoah Valley.  You’ll especially appreciate the various types of art…pottery, oil, pastels, mixed media, sculpture, photographs, mobiles, jewelery and much more.  Jim is constantly out looking for new and challenging artists and art forms.

You’ll want to check out the Warehouse Art Gallery web site for special events such as music jams Jim pulls together periodically and his bring your lunch program.  Pick up a sandwich and drink at a local restaurant and take advantage of the tables set up throughout the gallery.  It is a break from the usual lunch scene and a chance to enjoy a longer view of the artworks on display.
