SHOOT THE JAMES – Exhibition at art6 gallery
On Friday, March 6, art6 gallery will host the opening of “Shoot the James”. This a photographic salute to Richmond’s James River features a wide selection of original work, including portraits by Thomas Daniel from his book series “People of the James”, video images by Georgianne Stinnett, the seminal landscapes of John Henley, and fauna subjects by wildlife photographer Lynda Richardson and biologist Anne Wright.
“Shoot the James” is curated by art6 member Tricia Pearsall. All proceeds from catalog sales will benefit the James River Outdoor Coalition.
Upstairs in the Member’s Gallery, Jennifer Yane presents new work intersperced with the work of her late mother, Margaret B. Yane, a graduate of Cooper Union who passed away 30 years ago. Her work was the backdrop to Jennifer’s life, who describes this exhibition as “a revery, a reaching back to discover the truths about my family that lay hidden in the open.”
On Sunday, March 8 from 3-5 p.m., art6 is also pleased to present the Garth Newel Piano Quartet of Warm Springs, Virginia. Musicians are Teresa Ling, violin; Tobias Werner, cello; Evelyn Grau, viola; and Andrew Harley, piano.
The Garth Newel Piano Quartet is known for offering fresh insight into both standard and new repertoire. Their concerts are informal, conversational, and even interactive. The acoustics at art6 are remarkable and show off this virtuoso group brilliantly. Tickets are $25; call (804) 343-1406 for reservations.
On Friday, March 20 at 8 p.m., Belle Pendleton from Christopher Newport College will speak on Thomas C. Skinner, an artist in the collection of the Mariner’s Museum in Newport News. Dr. Pendleton’s talk is part of The Pinkney Near Memorial Lecture in Art History series.
