SUMMARY:CHASM: Intuition\, Risk\, and Certainty
DESCRIPTION:CHASM Exhibition Catalogue\n \n\n\nDates: Sept 12\, 2025 to Feb. 2\, 2026\n\n\n\nCHASM: Intuition\, Risk\, and Certainty is a poetic conversation between material and meaning. This exhibition\, inspired by abstraction and consciousness\, features the work of Helen Frederick\, Madalyn Marcus\, and Randi Reiss-McCormack. Though their practices differ\, all three artists center around the physical act of creation\, the unpredictability of materials\, and the embrace of when the art “speaks back.” These artists welcome intuition and the unknown. \nFrederick’s collaborative pieces with Chris Mona are rich in symbolism and layered meaning. The textured handmade paper and her imagery evoke environmental and emotional landscapes\, inviting reflection on impermanence\, time\, and transformation. Marcus’s rhythmic paintings translate fleeting sounds into permanent colors. Her compositions reverberate\, finding balance in the tension between opposites. Reiss-McCormack creates mixed-media works that blend playfulness with sincerity. Her collages are richly layered drawings that reflect a studio practice grounded in ritual and adaptability to shifting rules and forms. \nThis exhibition also includes works from the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection at the University of Virginia. These pieces form a complex mosaic of translating the natural world into imagery. Together\, the works on display invite viewers to engage intuitively\, seek cross-cultural inspiration\, and connect their inner experiences with the external world. \n\n\nPiece info:Helen Frederick with Chris MonaIn The Time Of Not Yet\, 202436×30”screen print\, chine collé on custom made paper

SUMMARY:Together\, Again
DESCRIPTION:Together\, Again is a collection of magical\, familiar\, and tender moments found in the work of Cozbi A. Cabrera. This artist\, dollmaker\, quilter\, and author takes notice and finds meaning present in everyday experiences. Whether cooking a meal\, doing your hair\, or walking in the rain\, the soul is nurtured and cultivated in our mundane. \nRooted in family\, shared memories\, and the warmth from care\, Cabrera’s themes are present in a variety of mediums. Her paintings\, textiles\, and dolls bring moments of joy\, strength\, and guidance found in family and friends. These mediums\, stitched together like a quilt\, bring parts together and form moments filled with stories\, remembrance\, and hope.  \nThe world can be an unexpected and challenging place\, but with Cabrera’s stories and pictures we find gifts of wonder and treasured objects of comfort. Through this exhibition you are invited to experience the world through Cabrera’s eyes and hands – where pictures speak\, detail breathe\, and stories found on canvas and cloth reaffirm what is near and dear to our heart. \nThis exhibition celebrates the 10th iteration of the LCVA’s annual Arts and Letters exhibition series. Showcasing the best in the art of children’s literature\, this exhibition is proudly presented in conjunction with the Virginia Children’s Book Festival. \n  \n \nCozbi A.

SUMMARY:Virginians by Virginians: Portraiture from the Permanent Collection
DESCRIPTION:Barbara L. Bishop Gallery \n20 February – 8 November 2026 \nLongwood University has collected art since the early 1900s. Several of Longwood’s early art acquisitions were funded by class gifts\, such as the beloved Joan of Arc sculptures on view in the Rotunda. In the 1930s\, art department professor and namesake of the University’s Bedford Hall\, Virginia Bedford (1905–1983)\, began an organized effort to exhibit and acquire artworks\, primarily portraits and landscapes. By 1949\, students\, alumnae\, and friends established a named fund to purchase works by Virginians. The University officially codified its first named collection\, the Virginia Artist Collection\, in 1951. \n2026 marks the 75th anniversary of the Virginia Artist Collection.  The Collection’s breadth and depth continue to grow\, with a total of 1\,158 works by 312 artists. It is the only formal collection of art by Virginians in existence today. To honor its history\, importance\, and the talent it houses\, Virginians by Virginians highlights 30 portraits by 21 artists in the Collection spanning the 20th and early 21st centuries. The works represent a range of media\, including drawing\, painting\, printmaking\, photography\, and sculpture\, and stylistic approaches from figurative to abstract. \nThis exhibition highlights work by well-known Virginia artists (Harriet Fitzgerald\, J.J. Lankes\, Sally Mann\, and Willie Anne Wright)\, renowned folk artists (Rev. Anderson Johnson and Clinton S. Ford\, Sr.)\, Longwood faculty members (Maurice Sneller\, Jr. and Homer Springer)\, and Longwood alumni (Nan Gilbert Aman [Class of 1934] and Fred H. Bradley [Class of 1996]). The exhibition also provides insights into artistic practices\, their subjects\, and the times in which they lived. \nThe Longwood Center for the Visual Arts’ Virginia Artists Collection represents a continuum of the Commonwealth’s rich artistic and cultural history. It also serves as a means to glean insights into art and lived experiences\, while embodying the LCVA’s mission to inspire hope and beauty through the power of human imagination. \nPictured: Harriet Fitzgerald (Danville\, Virginia\, 1904–1984)\, Tommy\, 1940.

SUMMARY:Close to Home: Andras Bality’s Virginia
DESCRIPTION:William T. and Harriet Butterworth (Class of 1951) Miller Gallery and Thomas Sully Gallery \n20 February–6 September 2026 \nClose to Home features twenty-five paintings by Richmonder Andras Bality (b. 1963). Capturing the breadth and depth of the Commonwealth’s natural and man-made beauty\, the paintings’ imagery spans from Tidewater to Appalachia. Bound together as a body of work by curiosity and wonder — and an aesthetic lineage tracing artists from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries — Bality offers a sublime visual poetry of place. \nBality’s work finds its anchor in the education he received at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU)\, where he earned a BFA in painting and printmaking with a minor in art history. The combination of figurative and abstract approaches used by VCU art department founder Theresa Pollak (American\, 1899–2002) and alumna Nell Blaine (American\, 1922–1996) spoke to him and solidified his own approach. While at VCU\, Bality studied at Winchester College of Art (Winchester\, England). After graduation\, he attended the Cyprus College of Art (Lempa\, Cyprus)\, where he studied plein-air painting with Tom Watt (Scottish\, b. 1951). Painting from nature proved crucial in seeing and capturing the essence of what he wanted to paint. Bality continues the practice of painting outdoors\, either finishing works completely or making sketches that he later uses in his studio. \nPictured: Andras Bality\, Rockbridge Valley\, 2025.
