Details
A new round of exhibitions is here at Second Street Gallery! Join us tomorrow, Friday, October 2, from 5:30–7:30 PM for our First Friday Opening Reception and be among the first to experience two exciting new shows in our galleries.
UVA Department of Art Fifth-Year Aunspaugh Fellows Jolinna Li + Reese E. Robers present "en route," featuring a selection of moving-image works brought together in a multi-channel installation, accompanied by supplementary and didactic materials offering insight into the artists’ production processes.
Emma Terry presents "Strange Kin," a solo exhibition of ceramic works that blur the line between memory and invention. Combining slip-cast fragments of vintage dolls with hand-built ceramic forms, Terry creates vessels, subjects, landscapes, and small curiosities that feel at once familiar and wonderfully strange.
Come meet the artists, explore the new exhibitions, and help us kick off another exciting autumn at SSG. We can’t wait to welcome you back into the galleries!
"en route" is generously sponsored by The Spacek Fisk Family, with in-kind support from the University of Virginia Studio Art Department and The AV Company.
"Strange Kin" is generously sponsored by Lisa Marie Draine, Tim and Virginia Michel, Pond Life, and The Pontillo-Galdencio Family.
Both exhibitions are supported, in part, by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which receives support from the Virginia General Assembly.
Our First Friday Opening Reception is generously sponsored by William Taylor and Jacqueline Langholtz.
