EDUCATOR WORKSHOPS
SSG cares deeply about working with local and regional educators to supplement art education in the schools.
Since 2000, SSG has co-hosted Educator Workshops with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Statewide Partnership Program. These workshops are structured around Virginia state curriculum requirements. Since 2005, SSG has worked with the Piedmont Council of the Arts so that the workshops can be free and more accessible to teachers.
IN-SCHOOL ART WORKSHOPS
In-School Art Workshops seek to reach a wide variety of children and educators in varying environments, from elementary to high school students, in both public and private institutions.
SSG sponsors ten in-school workshops throughout the year, led by visiting exhibiting artists. These workshops are held at schools in Charlottesville city and surrounding counties and offer students an opportunity to participate in creative, artmaking activities. These workshops are tailored to complement and supplement students' art education in the classroom.

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.
