Magic is what we believe it is. We can see it as subtle or bold, complex or simple. Magical inspirations can vary with culture, age, beliefs, experience, physiology, and even pharmacology. We can suspect that magic created that special moment of connection, that fulfilled dream, that rare experience, the unexpected beauty, or that amazing phenomenon others seem to think is just the edge of new science. Come see how artists interpret this theme during the A Touch of Magic art exhibit.
RECLAIMED explores eco-conscious art practices and features 23 local artists who were challenged to use at least 25% recycled materials in their work. This juried exhibition features emerging artists such as collage artist Sarah Buchanan and self-taught pop artist Charlie Visconage, who have each recently had their first major solo shows, alongside seasoned artists, including Meghan Walsh, whose mosaic art has won numerous awards and George Lorio, whose political and environmental work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. Among the 23 participating artists, some use recognizable materials and everyday objects in their work while others integrate recycled materials in less obvious ways. The work spans many top...ics and highlights the creative potential in using recycled materials as well as the skill and creative ability of the featured artists. Other participating artists include Adam Bradley and Sarah Wegner, Matt Carl, Duly Noted Painters, Joanne Dvorsky, Amethyst Garvey, Jay Young Gerard, Eric Gordon, Marcella Morgese, Terence Nicholson, Jonathan Ottke, Leah Schaperow, Dafna Steinberg, Christine Stoddard, Tracy Wilkerson, Robb Williams and Peter “peaReye” JoCeph.
The exhibition was juried by Allie Frazier, Gallery and Studio Manager of Art Enables.
From the earliest drawings on cave walls to the journals of travelers, the exacting engravings of James Audubon and watercolors of A. A. Milne, much of our knowledge of the natural world came from artists. The Outdoors In art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans explores this topic. Artists demonstrate in painting, sculpture, textiles, found materials, drawing, and other media, the influence and representation of the natural world around us. The exhibit features work from Del Ray Artisans member artists and local high school and college students as well.

They say “a picture is worth a thousand words.” The Speak Your Mind art exhibit celebrates the relationship between art and the human mind as a form of nonverbal communication. For some, visual arts are a platform for advocacy, a way to raise awareness of a social cause, or to express a political message. Art is a means of self-expression when it portrays emotions, thoughts, or a state of mind. For others, the process of making art is itself a form of therapy to improve mental health or as an exercise in mindfulness. This show coincides with Mental Health Awareness Month (May)..
The Speak Your Mind exhibit runs May 5–28, 2017 at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22301. Gallery hours are: First Thursdays (April-September) 12-9pm, Thursdays 12-6pm, Fridays 12-9pm, Saturdays 12-9pm, and Sundays 12-6pm. The gallery is free, open to the public, and handicap accessible.
