ACADEMY HOSTS  VIRTUAL FIRST FRIDAYS EVENT TO BRING ARTS ACCESS TO ALL

“While our galleries are currently closed to the public as COVID-19 impacts our community, it is important that the arts and our artist’s work remain accessible,” said Ted Batt, Director of Visual Arts. “We invite you to join us online and experience this month’s gallery exhibit virtually.”

 

In addition to being able to view the 2020 National Juried Art Exhibition, viewers will also find footage of the 2020 National Juried Art Juror, Jeffery W. Allison, sharing his ‘Art Talk’ and awarding cash prizes for the exhibition.

Jeffrey has acted as a technical consultant for numerous museums, art centers, and festivals, including The Chrysler Museum, Hollins University, and William King Museum of Art. Most recently, Jeffrey curated the exhibition, How Far Can Creativity Take You: VMFA Fellowship Artists, the inaugural VMFA on the Road artmobile exhibition.
