History: Three talented ladies offered their artwork at the Waterford Fair in Waterford, Virginia in 1944. They called themselves the "Hot Sketchers," but their ensuing success prompted the more serious name "The Loudoun Sketch Club." Those formidable women were integrally instrumental in creating a Loudoun community that appreciates visual art to this day. One of the founding three, Vinton Pickens, convinced the Board of Supervisors to found the first Planning Commission for Loudoun County in 1942, and served as its first Chairman. She also established the ongoing collection of art produced by Loudoun artists displayed currently in the halls of the Loudoun County Government Building.
Today the Loudoun Sketch Club (LSC) is an active group of over a hundred local artists working in various media.
