HANDS-ON ART WORKSHOPS
Throughout the year, SSG sponsors ten hands-on art workshops as part of the Community Initiative, an outreach program designed to reach out to our underserved neighbors in the Charlottesville area. Workshops are offered throughout the year, in which local artists lead participants in a variety of artmaking activities. The workshops are strategically planned to supplement the club members' art education in their local schools.

Megan Read’s paintings seem hyper-realistic at first, but reveal layers of subtlety and mystery upon further reflection. Though the figures are often withdrawn, as seen here in “Fend” (2019), these are not paintings of melancholy but of meditation. “OBJECTify” with Michael Fitts and Megan Read is up until May 17 - catch these while you can. Contact the gallery for any additional info.
