When I paint, I paint abstract memories. Sometimes the memory is foggy and has been replaced by an imaginary sediment, a residue that has made one memory solid and the other fluid.
Everything in art is a memory.
I have empathic traits, therefore I paint the images of the emotions that I am able to absorb from strangers and from those who surround me.
The only expectation that I have from my art is pleasure.

FLUSH
We invite all to come write their woes from the past year on some ultra-soft double ply and throw them down the toilet. It safe to say 2016 wasn't the best year for everyone. But in an effort to move on, to start anew, to carpe diem in 2017, we are flushing away the crap from 2016.
DEPTH
VAE is showcasing the work of both our amazing 3D artist group and some of our past sculptors. VAE's Three-Dimensional Artist Group is a supportive network for artists who explore ideas and techniques and offer each other feedback. Artists are encouraged to bring a current work but are by no means obligated to. This group is open to anyone who works with a three-dimensional medium or would like to. All artists’ groups are free to VAE members and $5 for non-members.
The work included ranges from ceramics to game mods.
See Attached
VAE will be going back in time to the early 1990s when the state of the art technology of the email attachment was invented. Since then it has changed information exchanges in a major way.
Artists sent VAE emails with their work attached, and we have plastered our gallery with their art, and their emails.

FLOAT / call-for-art
Deadline - 11:59pm on March 9, 2017
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to create artwork that stay afloat in either water or air. VAE is challenging artists to think off the wall, and in the pool. Create work that rests in fluid transitions. Work that requires the viewers’ transitions. Work that floats on the surface, between substances, and in space.
April 7 - 27, 2017
Deadline - 11:59pm on March 9, 2017
The FLOAT exhibition is dedicated to Sarah Powers, because.
There is a childish freedom of sitting in 4 inches of water. Kiddie pools have a nostalgia of aloof parents and excited friends eager to sit in rusty hose water. The imprint of those memories have toys and objects, designed to (or not designed to) float in luke-warm water waiting to be rescued.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to create artwork that stay afloat in either water or air. VAE is challenging artists to think off the wall, and in the pool. Create work that rests in fluid transitions. Work that requires the viewers’ transitions. Work that floats on the surface, between substances, and in space.
We float you this to be creative.
“From Edison films catalog: Taken at San Francisco, Cal., at the Golden Jubilee. In the foreground are seen crowds of people, all being very close to the camera. The first float is drawn by four white horses and is at least twenty feet long. It carries a full load of little school girls, who sit along its full length facing the sides of the street. This is followed by a corps of firemen, and they in turn by a unique float drawn by six mules. Particular attention is drawn to the actions of a small boy who stands very close to the camera and who partially obstructs the view. He was requested by the photographer to leave his position, and the startled look and hasty disappearance lends a humorous incident. Sharp and clear.”
DETAILS
FLOAT is an open call juried exhibition, where art stays afloat, hopefully. All works must float in either their own designed apparatus, pool's of water supplied by VAE, or in the gallery's airspace. All work must not degrade by water. All work must fit through the VAE’s 104″ x 71″ front door. Up to two entries per artist. Juried with JPEGs. No media restrictions. Entries must received by 11:59pm on March 9, 2017.
JUROR - Mary Mattingly
Mary Mattingly is an artist based in New York. Her work has been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Kitchen, International Center of Photography, the Seoul Art Center, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, and the Palais de Tokyo.

Hidden Voices is a radically inclusive, participatory, and co-creative collective committed to creating just, compassionate, and sustainable relationships. This network of relationships connects communities across difference and provides pathways for global change.
Serving Life Exhibit connects the audience to the humanity of those who are incarcerated. How do people end up on death row? Following the lives of 15 men on death row, their personal narratives shed light on compounded layers of systemic oppression.

The exhibit creates pathways for empathy and compassionate action.
Hidden Voices and VAE are working together to find local artists to be paired with each incarcerated participant. Artists will create a piece of art that evokes the compassion of Hidden Voices and the accounts of the incarcerated individuals.
DETAILS
● 12-15 local artists will be selected
● The final art piece must be completed by end of July 2017
● The pieces will tour with the Serving Life exhibit for 3-5 years
● Artists will be compensated with a stipend of $500 and up to $500 in materials.

July 2016
WHAT WE WANT
For the month of July VAE wants to fill our Main Gallery with artist's depictions of their daily commute! We want to see transportation, travel, and traffic through the eyes of creative people. There are many reasons we think so much about our daily commute:
> Minimizing our environmental footprint by walking, biking or using public transportation
> To make life better by living in close proximity to the places we spend the bulk of our time
> Maintain sanity by leaving the house on time to avoiding congested traffic
> Because it is beautiful - yes, sometimes your commute can be a thing of beauty!
What is your daily commute like? Where do you travel to? What do you see along the way? What is your favorite part? What is your least favorite part? What would make it better? What would you like to see on your commute? What form(s) of transportation do you utilize? Make some art about it and exhibit with us in July!
This is a non-juried exhibition, all are welcome! Entries must fit through VAE’s 104″ x 71″ door to be exhibited. Two works per artist.
DEADLINE
Because this is a non-juried exhibition the only deadline is that your work arrive at the gallery by June 25 at 4pm!

WHAT WE WANT
We all need a good laugh from time to time, especially in an election year! VAE is looking to provide that laugh with our August exhibition, humor me! We are encouraging artists to submit works that are quirky, awkward, or just flat out hilarious. Artists should use the medium of their choosing and submit images, sculptures, narrative works (think comic strip), installations, videos...whatever! The sky's the limit! Think about what makes you chuckle, then use your creative practice to pass that joy along to others.

THE JUROR - Drew Robertson - comedian, artist, art handler/installer
Drew Robertson is a stand up comic living in Raleigh, NC. He is an artist and performer who likes to find the silly and strange in all aspects of life. At home on the stage, Drew has appeared, as a comic and performance artist in rooms, and performance spaces all over NC, and the country. He thrives sharing his unique perspectives through a mix of staccato one liners mixed with longer meditations on the absurd.
His art is tied to humor. Drew researches comedy and humor theories to make art that goes deep within the viewer, into the mind and their body. Using video, sound, performance or installation, he uses the vernacular of comedy: joke structure, timing, repetition, the pause, and gesture to form his pieces.
Drew has worked in multiple museums handling and installing everything from famously historic pieces of work to contemporary exhibitions that are more tech based. He has worked with the North Carolina Museum of Art, The Nasher Museum of Art, The Ackland Museum at UNC, City of Raleigh Museum, CAM Raleigh, and 21c Museum Hotel.

call-for-art: THE LAB
August 2016
VAE introduces THE LAB!
THE LAB is a space programmed by VAE Raleigh to experiment with different themes and challenges for our creative community. Produced as part of VAE Raleigh’s exhibitions program, THE LAB provides artists a chance to exhibit in a highly-visible space and challenges them to incorporate a theme that will connect a run of six exhibitions. The theme for this call is COLLABORATION! THE LAB is an exciting evolution of VAE’s long-running Exchange Gallery. Exhibits will run for roughly 3 weeks, and will be on view for one First Friday reception.
What do we mean when we say COLLABORATION?
We think of collaboration in a very open way! This is an opportunity for you to work together, engage the public and have access to a great space to showcase your work. The golden rule—it must be collaborative! We want you to work together, either with each other or with the community. Artists and curators are encouraged to submit exhibition proposals that consider collaboration in a variety of ways, possibly including:
> A collaboration between artists
> A curated exhibition of works that collaborate with one another
> An interactive exhibition and invites the public to collaborate
> An exhibition that incorporates another artistic practice: dance, spoken word, stand-up comedy, musical performance, theatre, etc!
Simple examples to get you going:
> Set up a photo booth that invites the public to participate
> An exhibition of work by multiple artists individual works organized around one theme
> An exhibition of works that were created collaboratively
> Curate a body of collection of works by artists whose work you think communicates well with one another
> Perhaps your studio mates and you would like to examine a theme, but each in his/her own media
EXHIBITION STIPENDS - $250.
We are super excited to announce that Red Hat, a software company whose open source values encourage community-powered collaboration, is partnering with VAE to support THE LAB. This partnership allows VAE to offer $250 exhibition stipends AND, in addition to the promotion VAE will do, Red Hat will hold a photoshoot and interview with each creative team in order to publicize their work through their own channels!
DEADLINE
Proposals for THE LAB are due by 11:59pm EST on Sunday, August 28, 2016.
THE PHYSICAL SPACE
Located in the storefront of our main gallery space at 309 West Martin Street, THE LAB offers artists the ability to make their exhibition the front face of VAE.
THE LAB features large windows, 3 walls, 14' ceilings, and just over 300 sqft of floor space. The floor is concrete and cannot be drilled into. Electricity is available in the space. There is ample natural light and track lighting. Artwork that is light-sensitive may not be the best fit for THE LAB as there is no way to block out the sunlight completely, but we invite you to show us how it can be done in your project proposal!
1 - WALL: this wall separates THE LAB from VAE’s Main Gallery space. The wall is 19’10” wide and 12’9” tall.
2 - WALL: This wall is 11’2” wide and 9’ tall.
3 - SWINGING WALL: This wall is mounted on large, sturdy hinges that allow it to swing away from the wall, exposing the building's electrical panels. Artwork mounted on this wall should be done so in a way that makes it secure enough to move with the wall. Artwork placed in front of this wall should be easily moveable.
4 - WINDOW: The window is 10' wide and 12'6" tall to the ceiling. At the base of the window is a 17.5" section of brick and cannot be drilled into. Atop this section is a 6.5" wide wooden ledge. The two clear window panes are 86" tall with a 9" tall, solid, white stripe and VAE's logo spanning their full width 65" from the bottom ledge. Above these two clear panes of glass (103.5" from the floor) is a 4" piece of wood, with the possibility of installing a hanging rod.
5 - PATH OF TRAVEL: This is an invisible line along the gallery floor between the left side of VAE's front door and 1- Wall. This is the edge of THE LAB, nothing can be installed to the right of this line. The line spans 21'. The floor cannot be drilled into or altered in any permanent way.
THE CEILING: The ceiling is 12'6" tall and made of tin. Nothing can be drilled into or nailed to the ceiling. Objects less than 2lbs can hang from the ceiling using magnets.

THE FINE PRINT
EXHIBIT INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
Artists are allotted 4 days to install their work. The installations must be fully complete by 2pm on the Thursday before the First Friday reception. Gallery staff is happy to support you during the installation of your exhibit, but the bulk of the responsibility of installing your work is on you. VAE provides wall vinyl signage for each show. Any maintenance required during the duration of the exhibit (other than turning the space on and off) is also up to you. If the exhibition requires regular interaction (like turning a piece on and off morning and night) from gallery staff it is up to the artist to make certain that the components can be operated while standing on the floor and that there are written directions for operating the pieces. At the end of the exhibition it is the artist’s responsibility to return the space to its original state by painting, spackling, sweeping (or whatever is needed). VAE is happy to provide spackle, sandpaper, brushes, rollers, drop cloths, etc., but if extensive repainting (or repairs) is required the artist may be asked to contribute money to purchase supplies, or to put down a refundable deposit prior to installing.
MONEY
The only fees associated with this exhibit are the initial application fees ($10 members / $15 non-members). VAE does extensive online marketing of its shows (including your own page on the VAE website), but does not print postcards. VAE cannot offer any financial support for projects in THE LAB.
SALES & COMMISSION
You do not have to offer salable work in THE LAB. Should you decide to, VAE earns 30% commission on the sales of members’ works, and 50% on sales of non-members’ works.

call-for-art: NEXT DOOR TO PERFECT.
September 2016
WHAT WE WANT
VAE is challenging our creative community to pick a problem currently facing society (big or small) and SOLVE IT, in the most creative, but possibly least practical, way possible! Cancer sucks; what if you created a vacuum that sucked cancer right back? Don't have the tools you need to actually build your invention? That's cool! Draw us a schematic that shows how you would build it, paint it, draw it, create a video about it.
The idea for this exhibition was propelled by the Japanese art of Chindogu, which has produced some of the most fantastic and un-useless items out there! One of the main ideas behind Chindogu is that the item is not complete useless, the intention is to solve a real problem, and the invention almost solves that problem, but just barely misses the mark (ending up living just next door to perfect, see what we did there?)
Need some inspiration? Have a look at some of the wack-a-doo things to have been made by Chindogu artist. While VAE is not requiring that works submitted for NEXT DOOR TO PERFECT follow the Ten of the Tenets of Chindogu, they also offer a little inspiration to get your creative juices flowing! STILL WANT MORE? Check out some of the fanciful items in the collection of the NONSEUM in Herrnbaumgarten, Austria!
