First Annual InLight Richmond
September 5, 2008
This juried, light inspired art exhibition and event will take place from sun-down to midnight between the 100 and 400 blocks of Broad Street in downtown Richmond, and is open to the public. A longtime tradition of 1708, Wearable Art, has been incorporated into this event as Wearable InLight, featuring light-inspired fashion.
More than 40 artists are participating, including Miriam Ewers (MFA), Travis Fullerton, Bruce Hornstein, Christopher Wiedeman, David Grainger (MFA), Justin Lincoln (MFA and Adjunct Faculty), Henry Gwiazda, Michael Filimowicz, Janpim Wolf, Amie Oliver, Gilberto Martinez, Megumi Akiyoshi, Damian Yanessa, Tatiana Ginsberg, Amy Glengary Yang, Sabrina Cordovana, Arielle Angel, Clay McGlamory, Scott Kyle, Jessica Bauserman, Jackie Mancini, Matt Greer, Linda Sheridan-Nay, Craig Pleasants, John Blatter (current MFA student in Sculpture), Solar Sculptors United Now, Leah Jacobson, Manica Zander, Robbie Kinter, Thea Duskin, Megan Vernon, Slash Coleman, Anne Savage, the Art Cheerleaders and Michael Lease, and Diana Cavanaugh, (BFA student in Sculpture + Extended Media and Painting and Printmaking) Worn Gallery.
Among the local artist groups participating, Diana Cavanaugh, (BFA student in Sculpture + Extended Media and Painting and Printmaking) and Worn Gallery bring us “Brilliant Beacons.” Representatives of the gallery will actually wear miniature illuminated installations as they roam the area, spending the evening as both spectators and spectacles. Cavanaugh is a recipient of a 2008 VMFA Undergraduate Fellowship in Sculpture.
