VSA arts of Charlottesville/Albemarle and Charlottesville Parks and Recreation Department are pleased to announce a new art exhibition at the Albemarle County Office Building, 401 McIntire Road, first floor hallway. The exhibit consists of 30 pieces of art by 15 different artists.The exhibit features “The Ability Series”, currently consisting of 5 portraits by Romney Brand. Brand’s primitive style of painting is done in bright oils highlighting Charlottesville’s most creative citizens – individuals who despite facing challenges have helped C-ville emerge into a more inclusive community. The fab five depicted in Brand’s initial series are: Nate Brown, Jim Herndon, Herman Key, Jr., Franz Gerhard Stillfried, and Rose Williams. These community leaders are proven advocates for equal opportunities for all citizens – no matter their ability level -- in the Charlottesville/Albemarle area.
Equally impressive are 4 oil paintings by John Trippel of 4 local Charlottesville convenience stores – The B & R Market, Gibson’s Market, Sixth Street Mini-Market and The Belmont Market. These paintings were done on site in summer 2006 and are easily recognized by long time citizens of Charlottesville.
Other works on display are by Chris Wharam, Frances Chisholm, Laura Burrell, Ann Denit, Chapin Faulconer, Rosemary Balister, Martin Powell, Rose Williams, Robert Vandevender, William Greenough, Robyn Miller, Virginia Feltner and a group painting by the Community Based Instructional Program at Albemarle High School.
The public is encouraged to view the exhibit Monday through Friday
