The Shenandoah Valley Art Center, during the month of October, is exhibiting in the Cabell/Arehart Gallery artists from BozART, a gallery originally established in 1995 and located in Charlottesville on the Downtown Mall.
The cooperative gallery represented sculptors, watercolorists and many artists using a variety of media. Each month a new exhibit was hung providing opportunities for artists to share their work and art enthusiasts to enjoy and purchase art. After 19 years, in 2014, the gallery closed its doors. The group has remained together, taking the name BozART Fine Art Collective, exhibiting each year in galleries, centers, and vineyards throughout Central Virginia. This talented group of twenty members is bringing their collective works to SVAC. An opening was held in September for the two month exhibition which ends on October 27.
In the Hallway Galleries, the theme is Member’s Choice. All participants exhibit the medium and artwork of their choosing. SVAC is proud that it is a community-based organization that showcases and supports its talented members with this exhibition
Check out the SVAC sponsored classes for the month of October! For the young artist, the ever popular Saturday Art for Kids is designed as a program that expands upon art offered in school or as an art experience for the home schooled. The classes are taught by artists who are amazing with kids. All supplies and snacks are included for children ages 6 – 10.
