Blog of the New Year

As the sound of the new years bells slowly settle in the back of our heads our hands and minds are fighting the frost to keep art alive. This year we plan to take a new approach to our blogging. We will still keep up with our traditional posts showing off new copper work and updates about shows and events. Though, we want to focus on not only the art that we create but the art that is created in our community by friends and new acquaintances alike as well. As our fiends at AltDaily [altdaily.com] seem to point out on an almost daily basis, Hampton Roads is in need of a sustainable artist community!

Not that we are lacking talent and people with a sense of culture rippling through their veins, it is just not big enough yet. So in hopes that we can keep ourselves creative and inspire those around us we will be posting our attempts at poetry, short films, musical experiments, more artist documentaries, and various 2D artwork. If you have a project that helps us to think or question or that just simply allows us to take a step back and appreciate all the sights and sounds around us please let us know about it.

Stay tuned for what we, and what you, come up with!

Let’s not let the area go stale this winter, until we meet again,

Gallery Central: The Artist Hang Out

Recently it has come to our attention that there aren’t many artist outlets in Virginia Beach. Sure, the typical laptop laden tables are always open at Starbucks but for those who are tired of sitting by themselves wondering where all the other creative people are we have an answer.

This summer we want to start hosting evenings for the arts. Discussions, good music, films and even exhibitions of our friends and new acquaintances work. The young contemporary art scene needs to come to life in the area and we hope we can become one of the catalysts. So, if you are looking to expand your thoughts or knowledge of the arts or show off your ideas and art work get in touch with us and we will let you know what is happening around the gallery.
