Plus, this is a great opportunity to mingle with other local art enthusiasts, make new friends, and enjoy a wine/beer cash bar that benefits our ArtReach programs. Mark your calendar and invite a friend! New exhibits unveiled will include:
ENVIRONMENT AT RISK - Artists use various media to communicate environmental harms and the impacts to VA’s people and ecosystems. Hosted by Appalachian Voices.
VIBRANT VISIONS - Two art forms merge to create a dynamic exhibition of electric color and exciting subjects. Theodore Bolha works in cut and layered paper to create psychedelic style designs while Lee Valentine’s paintings are filled with energy and neon color making each subject come alive.
A MOMENT IN TIME - The Camera Club of Richmond promotes excellence in photography, inspiring members to reveal the world around us, preserve memories, and create works of art. In this exhibit, members share their interpretation of the titular theme.
VIRGINIA GLASS GUILD MEMBERSHIP EXHIBIT - This exhibit explores the vast creative works of glass art and how contemporary glass artists are pushing the boundaries of glass today in order to define a new playing field in the art world.
One of the most sought-after performing storytellers in the United States, with a silly putty voice, hilarious heart-filled stories, and amazing mouth noises (arguably, the greatest whistler in the world) one-person-showman, Andy Offutt Irwin, is equal parts mischievous schoolboy and the Marx Brothers, peppered with a touch of the Southern balladeer.
Andy will be joined by storytellers Darci Tucker and Gayle Turner.
Gayle Turner has been telling stories since they were called lies. Appearing on stage for over 60 years, Gayle revels in sharing personal stories as well as tales from literature and history. As CEO of The Storytellers Channel, he delights in helping people tell their stories well. He is the Executive Producer of The Hearts Afire Storytelling Series, the Mountain Mac Virginia Liars Contest and the Stories Matter! Workshops and Showcases.
Darci Tucker is an historian, author, playwright, actress and storyteller. She portrays more than 20 women from American history, and performs in venues nationwide. She literally wrote the book on how to portray people from history and literature, and she trains teachers and museum professionals to teach through storytelling and character interpretation.
