Boys & Girls Clubs
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. Past artist participants include Dean Dass, Russell Richards and Mara Sprafkin. SSG has been selected by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to collaborate in their Statewide Partnership Program, which provides access to renowned artists available for hands-on workshops.

Rising from the the blackness, the flowers in John Grant’s “Sirens” are startling in both their delicacy and beauty. Aptly named, the flowers do seem to have a siren-like nature, anthropomorphized in the way in which they seem to beckon the viewer in. John Grant’s exhibition will be on view until January 18th. For more details and info on pricing, please contact the gallery.

We love the haunting and visually stunning work of WaxenVine, the collective vision of husband and wife team, photographer Scott Irvine and artist Kim Meinelt. Featuring the overlap of the mundane and the romantic, the result is work that is simultaneously beautiful and unsettling, such as this piece, “encapsulated”, in which the floral overlay gives the impression of broken glass. TORN will be on view until January 18th, so come out and see these works in person before they are gone!

WAXenVINE is the collective vision of husband and wife team, photographer Scott Irvine and artist Kim Meinelt. WAXenVINE seeks the unusual within the mundane and beauty in unexpected places by layering and blending multiple images together, resulting in a hauntingly poetic dreamscape that transcends reality and the singular imagery. The result is a simultaneously romantic and unsettling experience. Their exhibition, “Torn”, will be on view at the Gallery until January 18th.
