Side Car Gallery - Brian Korte
Click link to view Brian Korte's work with images, descriptions and prices: Brickworkz - opens to a new window
Local Richmond artist Brian Korte began Brickworkz LLC to create custom art and conversation pieces using a unique medium- LEGO bricks. The idea came in 2004, when two close friends were about to marry. Wanting to do something completely different, Brian looked through his LEGO stash and began designing a portrait of the couple using 10,400 LEGO bricks.
From there, Brian began building for a local gallery and designing custom portraits for families and businesses. In 2006, Brickworkz LLC was formed. Brian spent the next two years taking the show on the road to various LEGO-related events, capturing his completed works online. By 2007, online visitors from countries like Israel, Hong Kong, Ireland, Canada and England were requesting Brickworkz art.
Later that year, Brian designed a piece that would change everything. He received a call from a collector in Ohio who commissioned him to design the World's Largest LEGO Image, breaking the Guinness World Record. After months of planning and building, they achieved their goal: a full-scale 18-wheel tractor trailer spanning more than 44 feet and made with over 1.2 million LEGO bricks.
Today, Brian uses Brickworkz not just as a creative outlet, but as a way to reach the community and share his story (and artwork) with children in schools, teaching children about the importance of creativity. LEGO mosaics by Brickworkz can be seen in the offices of Fortune 500 companies as well as private residences in the U.S. and abroad.

Maggie Walker, 1st Women in the US to become a Bank President
Theme: "Celebration of Women"
Susan Bock has been a photographer for many years both in Virginia and in California where she displayed much of her work along the famed Cannery Row in Monterey and in art shows in the Carmel area. Her love of black and white photography led her to begin hand-tinting some of her photographs to create new effects on canvas and to show a different point of view in her art work.
About seven years ago Susan began restoring and hand-tinting old historic photos which she now displays in art shows all over Virginia. "The collection has grown way beyond Richmond which was my starting point," Susan says. While I now have more than 100 different scenes of old Richmond, I also now cover Northern Virginia, the rural South, the Civil War, Native Americans, the Chesapeake Bay and last year added 'A Celebration of Women' to the mix. I am always adding new Richmond pieces as I find them and the Civil War just goes on and on." Old fashion shots from the 20s and 30s has now been added to the women's series and this year Susan also plans to add some photos of Maryland, New York and the missions of California.
Susan also does commission work and recently completed a photo for a Vietnam veteran whose buddy took a photo of him while he was in Vietnam. He was excited about preserving it and having it to finally hang up because that was an important time in his life and since Susan also gave him the finished product on a CD he was anxious to have a t-shirt made with the image on it. She has also done old wedding photos, family poses and children's portraits. "It's a great way to preserve and enjoy your past and have a nice picture that you can hang up somewhere instead of leaving it stored away in a box that no one will ever see."
To access this collection visit www.art2die4.net, or come and see her display at the Crossroads Art Center.

Annual Membership
VCU Arts Department of Interior Design's Undergraduate Program
The gallery show is to include work from this year's graduating class from VCU Arts Department of Interior Design's undergraduate program. This year, the students have designed and developed a thesis project based on existing buildings in the Richmond area. Though the programs are merely conceptual, the projects themselves are based on concrete research as it relates to a specific subject and its relationship to the city. The students were challenged to develop a program that could benefit the area and give back to the community in which it would inhabit. Project types range from healthcare to education to hospitality. Programs range in size from 3,000 to 30,000 square feet and encompass everything from transitional housing for families with children in the hospital, to an organic vegan bakery in the heart of Carytown.
If you have ever been curious how a designer thinks as they develop thoughts into thoughts into spaces, you will see two semesters of evolution which include programming documents, models, and sketches as well as developed layouts renderings of the final spaces.
For more information, please contact Shannon Dowling at the Department of Interior Design via email at sbdowling@vcu.edu.

The Crossroads Art Center Exhibition Programming Policy
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: Jenni’s email address: jennikirby@crossroadsartcenter.com.
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. RHODA MACCALLUM GALLERY
