Mother Earth Exhibition

As we walk deeper into spring and celebrate Earth Day this month, we invite you to take a look at our planet through the lens of art. Mother Earth is a juried exhibition featuring the artwork of regional artists from the Hampton Roads area. Artists were asked to explore both the inherent beauty of our environment and the way it suffers at the hands of its inhabitants.

Leafy Bowl and Feather Vase, stoneware, Catherine Geronimo.

This juried exhibition features a multitude of works from textiles, ceramics and paper sculptures to watercolor, acrylic, and oil paintings. We love to see the variety of approaches artists take to explore our monthly exhibitions.
