Arts on the Road

On Sunday, September 21, Chatham Hall art students attended the exhibition “CHASM: Intuition, Risk, and Certainty” at the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts. The exhibition, inspired by abstraction and consciousness, features the work of Helen Frederick, who founded Pyramid Atlantic Press and Paper Studio in the DC Triad; Madalyn Marcus; and Randi Reiss-McCormack. All three artists' work centers around the physical act of creation, the unpredictability of materials, and the embrace of when the art “speaks back.” 

 

This exhibition also includes works from the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection at the University of Virginia. Together, the works on display offered an excellent platform for dialogue and invited viewers to engage intuitively, seek cross-cultural inspiration, and connect their inner experiences with the external world. Students will be meeting with artists via Zoom in the classroom during October.
