SUMMARY:Of Time\, and the Town
DESCRIPTION:Of Time\, and the Town from filmmaker David Ellsworth poetically depicts twenty years of changes and constants in the built environment of Farmville\, Virginia and in the rural areas surrounding it. The film’s super-8 film images bear witness to how everyday locales provide markers of the town’s social evolution. A young couple labors to renovate an abandoned 19th century school and make it their home while the town’s previously shuttered all-Black high school finds new life as a civil rights museum documenting the 1950s student strike that helped integrate the county’s schools. Children grow as one-hundred-year-old oak trees fall. Excerpts from the town’s AM radio station provide a sonic touchstone that complements the film’s evocative sound design. \nThe Longwood Center for the Visual Arts (LCVA) welcomes the community to an opening reception on Friday\, September 6 from 5:30 – 8 pm; early entry for Friends & Partners at 5 pm. This exhibition will be on view from September 6\, 2024—January 21\, 2025.  \nAbout LCVA: \nThe Longwood Center for the Visual Arts presents a rotating program of inspiring and conversation-starting exhibitions. Admission to LCVA and its programs is—and always has been—free for all. It is located at the intersection of Main and Third Streets (129 North Main Street) in Farmville\, Virginia. For additional information on these exhibitions or other programs and events\, contact LCVA at 434.395.2206 or visit LCVA’s website at https://lcva.longwood.edu/. \nLCVA exhibitions and programs are made possible through the generous support of: the Wells Fargo Foundation\, the Walter J.

SUMMARY:Bad Kitty Does Not Like Art Museums
DESCRIPTION:Art museums are great! You can see many wonderful things\, the curator exclaimed. \nBad Kitty does not agree. Her dislike of them remained. \nCould a visit change her mind? Would that do? \nDo you want to see another’s point of view? \nEach has a story\, and so do you. \nFor a moment Bad Kitty thought: Okay\, Okay\, but I still don’t see the hullabaloo. \nGoing inside\, the AC was on. So far\, this is pretty cool. \nHer temperament took a break: The paintings are nice\, but that is something I could make. \nInside you’re an artist! The docent explained: \nJuxtapose yourself with the art you see. You can make it\, but so can she. \nKitty thought it over\, how could that be? Seeing something new\, maybe that is the key? \nLots of pieces to view! Something old\, something blue\, and something with a kangaroo! \nMuch to see! So much to learn! What else could we discern? The art from… \nNick Bruel would be cool! \nOpen the doors to the LCVA to see his art. \nPurrfect stories and lessons from the heart. \nQuestions arise and stories unfold\, \nReading his books there is much to behold. \nSuper great pictures worth a Fabergé! \nThank you\, Bad Kitty\, for visiting today. \nUnderstanding your dismay is okay! A good change is underway\, maybe next time we’ll try the ballet? \nVisual art can mend\, pretend\, blend\, defend\, and transcend. \nWould you recommend to a friend? \nXylophone! \nYes! Oh\, that’s wonderful news. \nZoom on over\, and see some new views. \n  \n  \nBad Kitty Does Not Like Art Museums highlights works of art from author and illustrator Nick Bruel. For over twenty years\, his stories have connected with children and adults alike. His whimsical narratives teach valuable life lessons through humor and the curious Bad Kitty. \nThough she wasn’t always a bad cat\, she just didn’t want to eat asparagus\, horseradish\, spinach\, or zucchini. She wanted an assortment of anchovies\, hippo hamburgers\, rhino ravioli\, or shark sushi. She may not have been as patient as she should have been\, but that’s okay. She is learning – she is just a little kitty. \nAnd Bad Kitty grows up\, just like we do. She goes on vacation\, takes a test\, gets a bath\, gets a phone\, and even runs for president. These stories teach that when times get tough\, we figure out ways to persevere and succeed\, or how to handle disappointment. \nBad Kitty Does Not Like Art Museums is an invitation to find your own growth\, revisit something you don’t like\, and have some laughs. The LCVA\, in conjunction with the Virginia Children’s Book Festival\, asks that you don’t claw the curtains\, overturn litter boxes\, or ruin any rugs. \nThis exhibition is the eight iteration of the LCVA’s annual Arts and Letters exhibition series showcasing the best in the art of children’s literature\, which is proudly presented in conjunction with the Virginia Children’s Book Festival. \n  \n \nImage Credit: \nNick Bruel\nBad Kitty Does Not Like Art Museums\n2024 \nInk\, watercolor\, and gouache on multimedia paper.\n7″x5 1/8″\nCourtesy of the artist

SUMMARY:MLK DAY Free Family Workshop @ The Robert Russa Moton Museum
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a great way to start the New Year with your community? The Longwood Center for the Visual Arts and the Robert Russa Moton Museum are partnering to bring an MLK Day celebration of service on Monday\, January 20.

Smith\, who is sponsoring the workshop along with her husband\, John D. Miller. “It provides opportunities for families to engage in creative activities while also celebrating the life and legacies of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. and our local civil rights heroes.” \nThere will also be a civil rights focused reading area provided by the Virginia Children’s Book Festival and the Farmville Lions Club will offer free vision screenings. Leah Brown\, Associate Director of Education and Collections at the Robert Russa Moton Museum\, expressed her excitement about the event\, stating “We are so thrilled to be hosting the 2024 MLK Day workshop with the LCVA at the Moton Museum. It is a great opportunity for engagement and collaboration within Farmville and the wider community.” \n“The MLK Day workshop also serves as an opportunity for community members and college students to give back to their community by volunteering to help on the day of the workshop\,” explained Emily Grabiec\, the Director of Education and Outreach at the LCVA. “This event is a wonderful chance for everyone in the community to come together.” When asked about the impact of volunteering for the workshop\, current Longwood student Aaliyah Liles ’25\, who has volunteered for the workshop for the past two years\, shared that “Martin Luther King Jr. once said\, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is\, ‘What are you doing for others?'” The MLK Day Workshop enables Longwood and Hampden Sydney students to do something for others by providing an opportunity to engage and volunteer with the Farmville community in a fun\, creative\, and educational way. ” \nWhen and Where: \nMonday\, January 20\, 2024 from 10:30 am-12:30 pm at the Robert Russa Moton Museum\, located at 900 Griffin Boulevard. \nAbout the Robert Russa Moton Museum: \nThe Robert Russa Moton Museum is a National Historic Landmark dedicated to sharing the story of Prince Edward County’s role in the fight for civil rights.
