We love fall at Art House 7, which ushers in a robust roster of terrific classes for preschoolers to adults. Our fall session, starting Sept. 5, offers painting with oils, watercolors, and acrylics; drawing; sculpture and collage; ceramics (including the wheel); and printmaking, sewing, crocheting and knitting. If you’re looking for a shorter commitment, we also have a full schedule of workshops, Art Nights, and Morning Art Socials.

If you haven’t discovered Art House 7, please check us out! We offer classes throughout the year, taught by a range of fantastic teachers. We have free events as well. You can buy art supplies next door. We’re near the Lee Harrison Shopping Center, and free parking is outside our door.

Highly respected internist Chethana Rao, MD now offers a concierge medicine option at her Fairfax-based practice. The difference is evident at every point of care, with direct, after-hours availability to Dr. Rao, same-day appointments when needed, and extended visits with little to no waiting time.

“My concierge practice is limited in size, which allows me to go well beyond the traditional emphasis on treating disease,” explains Dr. Rao. “Evidence-based, prescriptive lifestyle changes can treat and often reverse the most common chronic conditions, but the typical 10-minute appointment leaves no time to address anything except the most acute issues. The concierge model enables me to explore the roots of a patient’s condition, understand them as individuals and make a real change in their health trajectory by preventing illness from the start.”
