Gallery I – Bart Shultz

     

Fully Interlocking Pieces

Sizing-up Our Puzzling World New Masking Tape Sculptures by Bart R. Schultz.

We live in a puzzling world. We open the box, flip over all of the pieces and begin to size up the different shapes, colors and odd edges. We begin to separate - the flat edges go over there, earthy patterns and shades here, solid white over there. Some pieces are easy to identify and we snap them together quickly forming a recognizable group - it makes us feel good.

We pull out one piece, our piece, and hide it from the others.

Then we begin to build the borders - the boundaries for all of the other pieces. It's the easiest part. Eventually things get tougher, because in order to complete the puzzle, every piece has to come together, even the one that we've kept from the others.

Fully Interlocking Pieces is about the people who surround, inspire, and intrigue me. It's about people I already connect with, and people, issues, cultures, lifestyles, thinking and beliefs that I'm trying to understand. It's about getting people to understand me. Most importantly, it's about my realization that in order to complete my puzzle, I have to size up my piece first, disconnect the borders, and then search for a way for my piece to interconnect with the others.

I make sculptures of people out of masking tape. It's my interpretation of what I see and experience. It's a simple as that. There's no juxtaposition of this or that, no planned composition - just honest perspective and raw technique. My artwork is simply a tip of the hat to people from all walks of life.

Bart R. Schultz

Bart Schultz is an untrained artist and collector of work by outsider, self-taught, and American folk artists. He was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and comes from family of creative talent. Schultz has experimented with many art forms over the years, including hand-carved tramp art furniture and decorative objects, before evolving into his use of masking tape as a form of self-expression.

Schultz draws his inspiration from many self-taught American artists, including R.A. Miller, Missionary Mary Proctor, Steven Chandler, Harvey Fuell, and many others. Bart has shown his work at a number of Traditional and Contemporary American Folk Art exhibitions throughout the northeast, and has been featured in several publications. His work is in many private collections in both the United States and Canada.

The artist is a father of three and long-time Virginia resident. He works and lives in Richmond with his partner and best friend, Tron.

Side Car Gallery – Terrie Powers



Terrie Powers
A Brief Bio

Terrie Powers, a Virginia native, has known since at least age five that she would always be drawing, painting and creating. Ever since graduating from the University of Richmond in 1977 she has been employed in some type of art-related profession, from sign design and illustration to scenic crew at the Santa Fe Opera. When her other childhood career plan—to be a cowgirl—didn’t work out, she went to work designing and painting sets for Theatre IV and Barksdale Theatre and has done so for 26 years. Her sets have entertained millions of children as they traveled with Theatre IV around the country to schools and larger facilities. Terrie has also designed for the Family Playhouse season at Theatre IV’s Empire Theatre.

Now also a homemaker with two children, she continues to turn out paintings and set designs in her home studio amid the woods of Bon Air. The natural setting continues to lend a defining spiritual essence to her themes in painting.

Terrie’s paintings have been exhibited from Palm Beach to New York City and many reside in private and corporate collections. She is also a self-employed muralist with a growing number of customers in the Richmond area, she designs and paints installations for conferences and fund raising events, and is an active volunteer for art programs at church and her children’s schools.

Caboose Gallery – Maggie Chalifoux



Maggie Chalifoux was born in Columbia, SC but migrated to Richmond, VA at an early age. During her formative years she developed an interest in both visual and performance arts, leading to her later studies in art and art history at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Following a 20 year hiatus, during which time she pursued a career in computer technology and raised a family of two children, she became a full time artist in 1988 and has painted professionally ever since. In 2006 she moved from Richmond to Lake Gaston in southern Virginia, where she continues to pursue her passion for art in her lake-front studio.

Her earlier studies of other artists and art history, as well as her scientific interest in color and light have led her down a diverse artistic path, including still life, landscape, abstract, figure, as well as some portrait work.

Regarding the diversity of her work, she says: “I don’t wear the same dress every day! Why should I make the same painting?” Regardless of the subject, the hallmark of her work is her rich palette and vibrant use and exhibition of color. Her primary medium is oil paint, but she also works in acrylics and mixed media/collage.

“It seems to me that I am always striving with my art to learn and grow, to go beyond wherever I am. That leads me to many subjects, many techniques, and to a great deal of study of the masters – especially recently, modern masters.”

Her work has won a number of awards, including “Best in Show” and is held in numerous private and corporate collections throughout the United States. Displays of her work can currently be seen at Crossroads Art Center in Richmond, VA and at The Vintage Rose in Bracey, VA.

Featured Artist Wall – Roz Berlin

     

Roz Berlin’s passion for watercolor began 20 years ago while attending college for Graphic Design. After trying an acrylic class, she found watercolors produced the look she desired and there she found her true love! Her graphic design background led to positions as art director and illustrator for several magazines. For two years Roz taught community art classes in various painting mediums for adults as well as crafts for kids. This led to two more years teaching art for 5th-7th graders at a private school, and work with her grandson’s elementary school. Roz now focuses on her watercolors, in which she has developed a unique and detailed technique. Her passion is contagious as she encourages students to develop and explore their individual artistic gifts. She finds teaching is rewarding for both instructor and student who grow from studying together. There is true inspiration in sharing creative gifts.

The Crossroads Art Center Exhibition Programming Policy

The Crossroads Art Center is dedicated in presenting quality artwork, and the conceptual integrity of exhibition proposals (as well as the particular scope or focus of CAC's exhibit schedule for that year) are the primary deciding factors in determining which artists are selected for exhibition. Submissions should be sent to Exhibitions Director, Rachael Hawks Worsham; Crossroads Art Center, 2016 Staples Mill Rd, Richmond, VA 23230 Fax 804-278-8951
The following types of exhibition opportunities are offered by CAC:

1) “ALL MEDIA” Shows selected by Jurors:
Monthly “All Media Show” exhibitions are juried by arts professionals such as museum curators, arts organization curators, art consultants, art critics, independent curators, art historians and accomplished artists. All mid-Atlantic artists are invited to submit their works to CAC through a Call for Entries procedure. The number of artists selected depends upon the juror's decision. Cash prizes are awarded. Anyone who wishes to receive a prospectus for upcoming juried shows may send his or her address to CAC at the above address or via email: Rachael’s email address

2) Exhibitions Organized by Curators
See below.

3) Solo and Group exhibitions initiated by CAC Exhibitions Director
CAC’s Exhibitions Director curates solo or thematic group exhibitions each month. These exhibitions result from introduction to artist's work through slide submissions, studio visits; research in slide registries; visits to other galleries and arts organizations; attending lectures, panels, and special events; visiting university art departments; peer recommendations from other artists and curators; readings and other sources of inspiration.

Slide Submissions by Artists seeking Solo Exhibitions
CAC encourages artists to submit slides and other visual materials of recent work for consideration in solo exhibition programming. Submissions should include one or more sheets of recent slides, an artist resume, artist statement, any catalogs or press coverage, and a self-addressed stamped envelope (S.A.S.E.) with protective cardboard and sufficient postage to cover slide return.

Reviews of materials are now done throughout the year. CAC's Director of Exhibitions reviews the submissions and will respond to the artist through a letter or telephone call. This may require some waiting period as the annual programming is developed over a year in advance with an agenda for balance, range and inclusivity. Artists are welcome to check in on the decision making progress. Apologies for this lag time are herein offered.

**Artwork must be for sale or an additional $200 fee for exhibition only will be applied.

Submitted Proposals of Thematic Group Exhibitions
Curators may submit proposals of thematic group exhibitions that explore an idea in depth. CAC recommends that one individual serve as the project organizer (curator / artist / writer). This individual should not be one of the proposed exhibiting artists. Artistic quality, depth of research, budget feasibility, attention to administrative detail, and overall professionalism of the proposal are deciding factors in selecting exhibitions. Submissions should include: an exhibition goal statement; a list of artists with their resumes and current slides or videos; experience of project organizer (resume), budget, outline of project needs, and a self-addressed stamped envelope with protective cardboard and sufficient postage to cover return of submission.

CAC’s Director of Exhibitions will review thematic curatorial submissions and respond through a letter or telephone call. Consideration of submissions is ongoing. Again, applicants should be aware that the exhibition schedule is being developed almost two years in advance.

**Artwork must be for sale or an additional $200 fee for exhibition only will be applied.

Traveling or Shared Exhibitions
CAC also presents traveling or shared exhibitions of art that are organized by other institutions. An example is the Paper Cutters Guild of North America, in its traveling schedule; the guild was able to host a show in Gallery I. Other collaborations include co-organized exhibitions with other institutions and artist residencies in the schools or community.
