WILLIAMSBURG – The Williamsburg Contemporary Art Center is bringing back its popular Camera to Brush & Beyond show, fully expanded for a second year in a row.
The show opens to the public on Wednesday, April 15, and runs through May 29.
“Last year, our fully expanded show was so overwhelmingly received by our photographers, artists, and visitors that we decided to bring it back again,” said Apryl Altman, Artistic Director. “Once again, this show will be featured in our larger main and middle galleries. With photographs and interpretations, we have over 100 submissions and are really looking forward to this exhibition!”
According to WCAC, for the Camera to Brush & Beyond show, participating WCAC member photographers submit one or more photographs to be pooled with other members’ photographs. Artists and artisans choose a photograph they wish to creatively interpret with their own style and medium. In the exhibit, the selected photograph is hung next to its interpretation.
“Any type of medium can be used in the interpretation, even three-dimensional work such as fiber art, jewelry, and ceramics,” said Altman. “Our members are amazingly talented, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with!”
They say, WCAC members were also invited to submit pieces for the “Think Pink” exhibit in the Fireside Gallery in their choice of medium and style. Also in the Fireside Gallery, we feature 3-D art such as pottery, jewelry, fiber art, and more.
WCAC is free and open to the public. All artwork is for sale. WCAC is located in the Blue Building at 110 Westover Ave. Hours are 11-3 Wednesday-Saturday and 1-4 p.m. on Sundays. For more information about exhibits and programs, visit their website at visitWCAC.org.
