SUMMARY:The Alloy Project
DESCRIPTION:First launched in 2022\, The Alloy Project is a fundraising initiative offering unique commissioned\, collaborative artworks for purchase and free arts experiences for audiences of all ages. Taking place all day beginning at 11:00 am\, the event will culminate into a ticketed evening Cocktail Event\, featuring artworks for purchase\, honored guests\, artist dialogues\, and a special\, collaborative performance by artists Sandrine Schaefer & Jeremy R. Brooks. Live music by DJ Stylus and heavy hors d’oeuvres by Barcelona Wine Bar. Flower arrangements provided by Biofloria. \nAbout the Artists:\nThe Alloy Project invites pairings of contemporary artists to engage in a process of creative response\, generating original collaborative works of art and a series of limited-edition prints.

Special\, signed limited edition prints will be for sale all day at the Annual Benefit; and the original artworks will be available for auction during the Cocktail Event. \n2023 Participating Artists:\nCaitlin Teal Price & Mars Ibarreche\nSandy Williams & Mariana Parisca\nEmon Surakitkoson & Katie Pumphrey \nExhibit Event: 11:00 a.m.\nCocktail Event: 7:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.

SUMMARY:Tephra ICA Opening Reception | Metopic Ridge Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art (Tephra ICA) presents Metopic Ridge\, a solo exhibition by artist Eleanor Mahin Thorp. Thorp’s paintings take us on an immersive site visit to examine the Blue Ridge Mountains exploring stability and change\, the seen and the hidden within rocks. Through her discerning gaze rocks are more than geological entities; Instead\, they metamorphose into vessels of history and human connection. Drawing inspiration from the fascinating transformations depicted in Persian miniatures\, Thorp traces the hidden figures and forms in the rocks. Her paintings reveal the duality of rocks’ existence as both a firm witness to time and a medium for that which is intangible. \nEleanor Mahin Thorp is an artist and educator living and working in Richmond\, VA. Thorp approaches the subjects of her site visits through the lens of Persian animism\, and constructs images of stone faces by searching for figures\, words\, animals\, and forms embedded in the rock. Thorp received her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University\, was a Hopper prize finalist\, and is a 2023–2024 Visual Arts Fellow with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. \nThis exhibition is curated by Tephra ICA’s 2023 ArtTable Curatorial Fellow Sandy Cheng and presented in partnership with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Visual Arts Fellowship program.
