Skipping Sundays
In "Skipping Sundays," Evans Smith reflects on her Methodist upbringing in a rural North Carolina town, revealing how a steadfast belief has always remained just out of reach. Through imagery, she explores the complicated dynamics of religion and faith, as well as the feelings of isolation that can occur when one's beliefs differ with those of those around them. How is it that some can wholeheartedly embrace traditional faith while the rest of us are left questioning?

Shadows
Every culture, every person, every landscape knows shadow. September is its natural season, when the light grows long and golden, the world tilts toward darkness, and something in us turns reflective.
For one artist that might mean the literal shadows of a landscape at dusk; for another, the mythological underworld, the hidden self, or the silence between things.
Shadows is an open call for all media and all interpretations, from the observed world to the deeply personal.
EXHIBITION OPENING: 9/12/2026, 2:00 - 5:00PM

PROJECT POSTCARD
PROJECT POSTCARD IS BACK!
A blank postcard, a stamp and a few USPS restrictions were the only guidelines given for VAE’s inaugural Project Postcard. In today’s culture we so rarely mail things. This project encouraged students to think about the ways in which we communicate our creative ideas.
Postcards are displayed May 5 - 15, 2017 in the windows of
