well as portraiture and still-life paintings.
From now through the end of November, it is another one of SVAC’ s typical whirlwind seasons, so don’ t miss a day of it. There are 12 spellbinding shows presenting student and teacher art, juried fine art, select solo shows, art glass, nationally recognized photography and film, sculpture, and, surprisingly new this year,“ street art” in the form of graffiti. All that and more is packed into six short months, and beautifully curated throughout SVAC’ s exhibition halls. •
