SUMMARY:In the Main Gallery: Soil to Soul
DESCRIPTION:Soil to Soul is a community show with thirteen local artists that explores themes of sustainable living\, homegrown food\, and support for local farmers. Using a variety of mediums\, the artists in this exhibit highlight our rural Appalachian community while emphasizing the importance of supporting our neighbors. \nWe invite viewers to take a closer look at these works depicting the everyday scenes and traditions we sometimes take for granted\, and to consider this question: what would Blacksburg look like without them? \nSoil to Soul hopes to inspire patrons more broadly to support their neighbors\, local businesses\, local farmers\, local artists\, and local museum. We envision this community art show becoming and annual exhibition fostering future collaborations that celebrate the values that define our community. \n\n\nShow runs June 5-30

SUMMARY:Table to Scene Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Art\, Food\, and Film!\nCheck out Soil to Soul\, the museum’s community art show of 16 artists whose work focuses on agrarian and gardening culture\, sample food from local restaurants\, and then head over to The Lyric Theatre for a screening of Italian Wannabe\, a documentary that celebrates the connection between food and community. AND\, the film’s director\, Steve Dabal\, will be coming in to join us from New York for a special Q&A following the film screening. See more information about the film HERE. \nJune 24 also marks the last full day of the Community Foundation’s annual NRVGiveLocal campaign\, so please consider giving back to your community further by donating to both the museum and theatre.
