Outreach
Educational initiatives have always been an integral part of SSG programming. SSG is committed to providing the Charlottesville region access to art by connecting artists and their work with the local community.
SSG offers over a dozen outreach programs, ranging from in-school art workshops to group art making activities through Family Art Day or the Public Art project. Each program is designed to deepen the public's enjoyment and understanding of exhibitions and to make the best of contemporary art more accessible to the community.

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.

“Magnolia in Repose” is one of the stunning works featured in John Grant’s “Attraction” exhibition. While many of his works feature botanicals at full bloom, Grant also reminds us of their decay- and likewise, the fragility of beauty. “Attraction” will be on view until January 18th.
