SUMMARY:A Gracious Plenty: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Jack Blanton
DESCRIPTION:A Gracious Plenty: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Jack Blanton  \n4 June — 31 August 2025  \nAn opening reception will be held Wednesday 4 June from 5 to 8 p.m.  \nThis unique collection of sensibly scaled works has found a perfect home\, where it becomes an intricate part of life in the university\, much the same as it did when it graced the residence of the collector. It continues to factor in the daily existence of residents and visitors. Its eclectic inclusions are a comprehensive textbook of artmaking processes and forms. The examples it presents are of the highest quality and will age gracefully. The birth of this collection parallels the rise to national prominence of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts. The collection presents an accurate portrayal of some of the best work emerging from Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic seaboard during the 50 or so years surrounding the turn of the century. The intact preservation of this collection should liven the blood of investigative historians. The visitors to this collection and moreover the students and faculty who are fortunate to live daily with this collection will learn from it. Some will have true aesthetic experiences\, while others will intuit the significance of their enhanced environment. They will sense the correctness and visual logic of these artworks and will carry indelible mental images into their future. The Blanton Collection will long flavor and spice alumni memories of the good life at Longwood University. \nLester Van Winkle Professor Emeritus\, School of the Arts\, Virginia Commonwealth University \nLCVA exhibitions and programs are made possible through the generous support of the Wells Fargo Foundation\,  the Walter J.

SUMMARY:LCVA’s Art After Dark Presents a Gallery Talk with  Dr. Debra Jean Ambush
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Dr. Debra Jean Ambush for a discussion of her current exhibition\, Letters from Farmville: Reflections on Ancestral Arrival into Descendant Memory. This program will be held on Wednesday\, October 23\, 2024 at the LCVA and is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 5:45 pm for refreshments\, and the program will begin at 6:00 pm. \nIn 1989 Dr. Debra Jean Ambush came to Farmville to help settle an estate for a recently passed family member. In her family’s farm house was a trunk that contained receipts\, papers\, photographs\, and personal correspondence dating back to 1872. For over 30 years these documents\, which are an ancestral connection to the artist\, have served as vital sources of artistic inspiration and interpretation as she seeks to understand her family’s histories\, stories\, and memories. Letters from Farmville: Reflections on Ancestral Arrival into Descendant Memory is a four-part exhibition that visualizes African American family history to illuminate the ways in which memory is constructed\, lost\, and cherished. Alex Grabiec\, the LCVA’s Curator of Exhibitions stated “This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet Dr. Ambush\, take a closer look at the works\, and hear from her.” The exhibition will be on view from September 6\, 2024—January 21\, 2025. Letters from Farmville is made possible in part through the generous sponsorship of Ilsa Loeser and Letterpress Communications. \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. Payne Foundation\, Anne Carter & Walter R. Robins\, Jr. Foundation\, Walmart\, Navona & David Hart\, Century 21 @ Home\, Helton House\, Haley Auto Mall\, Candice Jamison Dowdy ’69 & Charles H.
