VA H2O: A Virginia Landscape Exhibit

Opening reception:  August 2 from 5-7pm

Virginia is BEAUTIFUL!  Every summer, the Morin Gallery at The Arts Center In Orange celebrates that beauty with a landscape exhibit.  In 2012, the ArtsCenter invited Virginia artists to submit interpretations on the theme of “Water in Virginia”.  From puddles and ponds to panoramic rivers and pounding surf, the response was wonderful.The exhibit's juror, award winning artist Catherine Hillis, has selected work in a variety of media by artists Carol Baliles, Dan Bartges (second place), John Bice, Tracy Brown, Ramey Campbell (first place), John Corrao, Matalie Griffin Rivard Deane, Margaret Embree, David Golden, Elaine Hurst (third place), Sue Linthicum, Emma Lou Martin, Lou Messa, Tom Tartaglino (honorable mention) and Richard Young.Images:  "Barn Point, Yeocomico River, Virginia" by Ramey Campbell, “Two Ducks, Tuckahoe Creek Marsh” by Dan Bartges and "Gordonsville Tracks" by Margaret Embree
