PONSHOP

Please give a warm welcome to our next featured Sustainability Award holder, Ponshop!

Since Ponshop's inception in 2010, Scarlett and Gabriel Pons have curated Ponshop to serve as an informational source for creatives. They promote creativity to foster a stronger community and be a catalyst of positive change in Fredericksburg.

Their connections to the community and beyond are numerous, tangled, and strong. The team describes Ponshop as a multifaceted gallery, retail store, and classroom. But they also work closely with small businesses and the youth community for collaborations, ambitious murals, commissions, event hosting and more.

Their shop features fine art, ceramics, and handmade items with a focus on the Virginia region. Scarlett tells us that she can take months to select certain artisanal products for the shop and gushes about how she’s watched Ponshop’s current featured artists such as Margeaux Ducoing evolve and grow their craft. Scarlett's and Gabriel's own fine art, designs, and ceramic wares can be found in the shop as well.

Scarlett announced that there are two things to look forward to this October! First Fridays are coming around again, so be sure to stop in October 1st at 712 Caroline Street. Scarlett is also putting together a Nepali festival for this month as the Arts and Cultural Chair of the Nepal Exchange Board. Follow @Ponshop for updates on their various endeavors
