“The Art of Robert Villamagna” Exhibition – June 23-July 18

“The Art of Robert Villamagna” exhibition runs June 23-July 18. Opening reception June 23, 3-5pm. Robert Villamagna grew up in the Rust Belt in Ohio and started making art as a young child with materials he found in his home. He now passionately works with colorful found materials, especially items that have language, show use and are rusted. These discarded metal items breathe life into his colorful sculptures and two-dimensional wall pieces. A strong sense of hidden messages is paramount in his work. This exhibition is generously sponsored by the Friends of CVA. Curated by Judy Barie.

“Holding Space: Woven Works” Exhibition – June 23-August 4

“Holding Space: Woven Works” exhibition runs June 23-August 4. This exhibition is a nuanced exploration into woven structures including jacquard weaving, pulled warp tapestry, and basketry. While distinct in style and perspective, these works collectively address notions of containment, transformation, and connection to place through abstraction. They make space for and carry our stories. Curated by Erika Diamond.

Artists: Carly Feddersen, Carrie Hill, Susan Iverson, Anina Major, John Paul Morabito, Skye Tafoya, Hope Wang, and Sarita Westrup.
