SUMMARY:Aimee Joyaux: Color-Aid ®
DESCRIPTION:William T. and Harriet Butterworth (Class of 1951) Miller Gallery and Thomas Sully Gallery \n6 October 2026–30 June 2027\nCelebratory reception: 20 November 2026\, 5–8 p.m.  \nColor-Aid ® is a group of paintings that explore Aimee Joyaux’s bursting sense of urgency\, a frantic and anxious response to our new world order. Joyaux states: \nI am a concerned observer of the global artistic and political scene. The shapes of our time are shifting as environmental transformation and fluid borders refuse any static definition. I don’t feel that we are in a free fall but very little that I read is reassuring. It’s hard to feel anything but grim. Our barbarity is haunting. And yet\, art is a place for hope\, an opportunity for honesty\, an invitation to pay attention\, to request reflection\, perhaps to inspire conversation. So\, I paint. I look backwards and I look forwards. \nPlants become abstract forms to play with\, stand-ins\, excuses to engage with texture and color and act as references\, symbols of life and death\, our canaries in the coal mine. Color-Aid ® is also a consumer product. They make color swatches used by artists and designers both as indexes but also raw material. They are very fun to just look at. I love the idea of color as an aid. My use of bright color is in part an effort to give myself some energy\, hope\, and beauty. \nJoyaux’s work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally at venues including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts\, Taubman Museum (Roanoke\, VA)\, National Women in the Arts Museum (Washington\, DC)\, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, among others. She earned an MFA from the University of Oregon and BA from Southern Oregon State University. \nPictured: Aimee Joyaux\, Snakes\, 2023–2025.

SUMMARY:A Small Piece of a Pretty Picture
DESCRIPTION:Lower Level Gallery \n14 October 2026–11 April 2027 \nOpening Reception: 14 October 2026\, 5–8 p.m. \nThis exhibition features work by Erin E. and Philip C. Stead. As the LCVA’s 11th Arts and Letters Exhibition\, the presentation continues the tradition of showcasing the best in children’s literature and illustration in conjunction with the Virginia Children’s Book Festival. \nAs award-winning illustrators\, authors\, and collaborators\, Erin E. and Philip C. Stead’s work speaks to enduring themes of friendship\, cooperation\, and embracing mistakes made in life. The Steads have created over 30 children’s books. Their book\, A Sick Day for Amos McGee (Roaring Brook Press\, 2010)\, won the 2011 Bank Street – Best Children’s Book of the Year and the 2011 Caldecott Medal. Working side-by-side\, respecting each other’s vision\, and intentionally listening\, the couple’s process creates enduring works filled with wonder and delight. Their philosophy for their work is simple: always work to impress each other. \nThe carefully chosen visual elements along with a poet’s economy of words placed on a white ground evokes feelings of calm\, reflection\, and mindfulness. The work embraces the imperfection of human industry\, keeping intact “mistakes” which\, ultimately\, pay reverent homage to revelations afforded in life’s unexpected journeys and challenges. Art\, like life\, doesn’t have to be perfect to have meaning and evoke wonder. \nPictured: Philip C. Stead\, Sometimes It’s Nice to Be Alone\, 2023. Monotype with oil etching ink on paper\, 16.25 x 25 inches. Photograph courtesy of the artist.
