My father, Edward M Hughes passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 7, 2024, at the age of 89. Obituaries can be found at the web sites of Rayner-Kepner funeral home (kepnerfh.com) and Preddy funeral home in Madison VA (preddyfuneralhomes.com) as well in the Culpeper Star Exponent and the Madison Eagle.
Memorial services will be January 15, 2024, at Preddy Funeral Home in Madison, Va. 59 Edgewood School Lane, Madison, VA 22727. Visitation at 10 am and services at 11. Memorials instead of flowers can be made to Rose Park United Methodist Church, 318 Shelby Rd, Madison, VA 22727. The church yard at Rose Park is where dad will join my mother, his wife of 63 years before her passing in 2021 and my brother Michael who passed in 2011. Due to the weather and the terrain, there will not be a grave side service.

I know mike would adore the hell out of my art Shenanigans. R.i.p Michael Hughes 💋

Mike Hughes's paintings have been living with me. They must find new homes. I offer them to the highest bidder, minimum bid is the cost of shipping. Bruce Hughes, Mikes brother.

Grinfactor is not gone. It is a disembodied spirt now that its vessel- Studio #9 at the Art House is no longer available. While we had the Studio space and Grinfactor to fill it I felt like Mike was still here with us. I feel like we've lost him all over again.

There will be no show in September at the GrinFactor. We'll keep you posted!

*******Due to the August 5 flooding at the ArtHouse the GrinFactor is closed until further notice. We hope the building will be ready for the September show. Luckily very little was damaged. We'll keep you posted!********
