Brews with a View Artist Spotlight- Sally Rose will be performing solo and doing duets with Erin Lunsford on BWAV on Thursday, July 21 from 6-10 on the roof of the LiveArts building. Cville Weekly said “Sally Rose is all about fake outs in the greatest way. The first few seconds of her brilliantly-video’d tune “Bones” will shoot you right back to the days of Mellow Gold or Odelay-era Beck: a humming upright bass line tinged with the willfully wimpy click of a drum machine and question marks as to where the “song’ll” head next. But in comes Sally Rose—her voice so melodically confident, so strong that you’ve all but forgotten the uneasiness that’s still chugging beneath. And right when you think you’ve got it all pinned down, she gives us some perfectly placed and equally sweet sprinkles of cleanly strummed and picked guitar—the best idea we never expected. And what’s more: The whole damn song might as well be an extended hook, one with enough variation to keep us on our toes waiting for her next whistle or word.” Find out more about Sally here… https://thesallyroseband.com/home

Hi there! We just wanted to remind you all of our wonderful current exhibition by Regina Pilawuk Wilson: “Ngerringkrrety: One Voice, Many Stories”. An Australian Aboriginal artist, Regina Pilawuk Wilson’s spectacular work is inspired by the traditional weaving practices of her people. If you have already gotten the chance to view our new exhibition, we highly recommend checking out Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection next, where her work is also on display. If you happen to be in the DC area, Wilson’s work will also be on view at The Phillips Collection. On June 14th, The Philips Collection will be hosting an event featuring a lecture by Henry F. Skerritt, Australian curator and art historian. It promises to be a great event! You can find more information on the event page at the link below: https://www.facebook.com/events/138310323692994/ Photo courtesy of Stacey Evans
