Alma's RVA

Objects for Manifesting is an optimistic group exhibition with work from Alain Joyaux, Alex Barao, Edward Alan Gross, Jaydan Moore, Joanna Gragnani and Margaret Meehan. Featured in this exhibition are works of maximilized potential formed by and helping to encourage magical thinking. Alain Joyaux, Edward Alan Gross take and Jaydan Moore form new lives from discarded material. Joanna Gragnani builds up and out. Alex Barao forms from the ground we walk on while Margaret Meehan maintains a cautious grip on the reality of the situation.

The viewer inserts themselves into the work and becomes an active participant in the manifestation game. The one in which we believe in the potential of things and people and places.

This opening coincides with Brookland Park Boulevards monthly Final Friday celebration and will feature a pop up from Superior Creamery & Confections.

Join us Friday, May 29 from 5-8pm for the opening reception of Objects for Manifesting.

Please join us this Friday for the opening reception of Firewood, a love letter to VCU wood. 5-8pm

Changes are afoot in department . The school has chosen to “pause” the MFA wood program and eliminate the sole full-time faculty line in the area. While this news is leaving us confused and heartbroken the Wood community has managed to come together to uplift and celebrate the enduring skills unique to this Program.

Firewood brings together multiple generations of artistry formed by the VCUarts Wood program. Collaborators Annie Evelyn (faculty) and Alicia Dietz (MFA, 2016) have been instrumental in bringing together this community. Alma’s is honored to host and we invite you to join us for the opening reception of Firewood this Friday, April 10 from 5-8pm.

Firewood showcases the talent that has spanned over 50 years of the VCUarts Wood Program.
