SEE ATTACHED / DEPTH / FLUSH

Triple Threat

January 6-26
First Friday (redo) January 13 6-10pm

For the month of January VAE will be showcasing three exhibitions in our Main Gallery. 

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.

November 9th – December 21, 201
Main Gallery

Juror - HannaH Crowell, Exhibition Designer at The Mint

HannaH Jean Crowell was taken captive by the art world as a young child and she has no intention of making an attempt to escape anytime soon. Her journey through the arts began in the mountains of North Carolina where she was born and raised. From the canvas to the camera or the orchestra pit to the stage, HannaH's childhood was rich in all types of artistic adventures, but it was design that caught her attention and took her to the University of North Carolina School of the Arts where she received her B.F.A. in Design and Production with a focus in Scenic and Lighting Design. After receiving her degree, she moved to Washington, D.C. for the William R. Kenan Fellowship for Scene Design at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. 

Following the Kenan Fellowship, Crowell continued to work as a designer in theatre throughout the D.C. metro area designing scenery, projections, properties, and serving as an associate or assistant designer on over 100 productions. She has also designed special events, weddings, graphics, websites, exhibitions and installations, interactive exhibitions, music videos, and worked for an architectural lighting design firm. 

After leaving Washington, DC, she found an artistic home in the creative walls of the museum and gallery. HannaH served as the Exhibition Designer for The Turchin Center for the Visual Arts at Appalachian State University working on numerous regional, national, and international exhibitions. She also served as the Gallery Director for the Department of Art at Appalachian State University. She now resides in Charlotte, NC where she works as the Exhibition Designer at the Mint Museum.
