If you have ever wondered how an artwork goes from a blank canvas to completed piece, come watch artist Darrell Rose in action! As part of our continued partnership with the Orange County African American Historical Society for the annual Juneteenth celebration in Orange, please join us from 2pm to enjoy our gallery exhibition, a display of graphic design work for the OCAAHS from local students, and a live painting performance from Charlottesville, VA-based artist Darrell Rose. This event will be held outdoors in The Arts Center in Orange's community garden, and is free + open to the public.

Darrell Rose draws on ancestral influences to power his creative practice. Perhaps best known for his musical talents, he has studied and performed West African percussion for many years. His visual art developed as a natural outlet for him to carry on the excitement and experimentation he has always explored through his music. Rose’s paintings are often a reflection
of the human condition, and take stylistic cues from expressionism, cubism, and surrealism.
