Wade Nelson takes his inspiration from the Blue Ridge Mountains, where he grew up. He started his career focusing on realism, but now has moved to expressionism to better represent the fluidity of nature. For this exhibit, Nelson has made a point to use Virginia native animals and deep vivid tones to make them stand out. He wants to create a calm mystical feeling with his color and composition choice. His work will be exhibited at Centre Gallery, West.

Art Roulette is an event that pairs preselected artists with student groups to make a piece of art that will be sold for charity. Teams have one month to make a collaborative work, write an explanation, and get it hanged in the gallery space. The opening event is where the art is sold off and buyers can meet the artists behind the work. This year Maggie Walker’s team is comprised of Eileen Morley, Jacqueline Yu, Mia Rodriguez, Coach Hall, and local artist Cave Metal. Each sale is done by raffle and the price of the raffle tickets are $5 each. Opening night is on December 1, so please show up to support Maggie Walker artists and charity.
Lora Robins Gallery of Design from Nature at the University of Richmond
February 8 - December 9, 2018 This exhibit, comprised of a gift of textiles and ceramics made to the University in 1960 that was recently re-discovered, features Chinese textiles from the Qing Dynasty, as well as a large number of silk objects. Symbols and imagery of animals real and mythical form a theme throughout the gallery, with many pieces featuring such adornments. “The rich history and symbolism of Chinese textiles allows us to learn more about traditional Chinese rites, customs, superstitions, and even intricacies of Sinitic languages,” said student Marcin Jerzewski, co-curator of the now permanent Carver Collection.
