The Garage is excited to host an opening reception for “New Work” by Jesse Wells and Kristin Smith this Friday, June 5th from 5:30-8:00pm. Come enjoy refreshments, friends, and art! The exhibition includes…

“Fault Zones” by Jesse Wells: New work focused on the physical chasm between individuals exemplified during ambivalent and complex moments.  With stunt doubles on fire and boxers embracing, this work seeks to highlight the quiet caught within the chaos, and people trying to come to grips with themselves and others.

Drawings and Sculpture by Kristin Smith: A collection of work about animals investigating the world that they live in. The pieces show a variety of creatures exploring strange habitats and forms, trying to make sense of their surroundings.

Gallery Hours: During scheduled events or by appointment. For more information, visit the Garage online at www.thegarage-cville.com.

Join us from 5:00-8:00pm at the Garage for the opening of Lindsey Mears´ exhibition, “Whistling in the Dark.” Lindsey is a McGuffey artist who creates hauntingly beautiful work from old objects, photographs, prints, and books. Lindsey’s work can be viewed online at www.lindseymears.com.

Join us this Friday from 5:00-7:30pm at the Garage for the opening of Jeremy Seth Taylor’s show “Salus.” Jeremy is an artist and professor at James Madison University. His new show, “Salus,” features new drawings, paintings, prints, and objects…all made from natural, organic pigments, and ecologically responsible materials. “Salus” means “safety” in Latin; Jeremy uses the theme of safety to address issues of how animals adapt to their environment in a world far removed from nature.

We haven’t been this excited about a show in a long time. You don’t want to miss it. Jeremy’s work is stunning.

Tomorrow night…The Garage Goes Dressy!

Come out to the Garage this Friday from 6-8pm to see the unveiling a giant dressy outfit created specifically for the Garage by local artist and curator of the Garage, Kate Daughdrill. The Garage’s dressy outfit is a form-fitting, vintage piece that falls somewhere between business casual and formal. Come in your dressy outfit so you don’t feel out of place!

After the First Fridays opening, Dusty Brown (NYC) and Joe Pollock (Cville) will be playing solo shows starting at 8:00pm. It should be a very special, intimate night with two amazing musicians!
