Where Have All the People Gone? NIAD exhibition Opening Reception

The Town of Danville’s upcoming
art gallery exhibition will feature selections from the National Institute for Artists
with Disabilities (NIAD) Art Center. The exhibit, Where Have All the People Gone? occurs August 23 through September
30 in the Village Theatre Art Gallery located at 233 Front Street.



 Featured in the show will be
paintings and sculptures, varying in size from featured artists Ray Brown,
Jeremy Burleson, Felecia Griffin, David Martin, Dorothy Porter, Kevin Randolph,
Jonathan Valdivias and Billy White. Two of NIAD’s artists, Billy White and
Julio Del Rio, have created extensive groups of figurative ceramic sculptures.
At less than half-life size, Del Rio’s army of figures sport a glazed skin
etched with text or symbols, creating a connection back in time with the
terracotta warriors of ancient China. Unlike the uniform drabness of the
funerary sculptures, Del Rio’s pieces are civilians bursting with color.



Join the Town of Danville’s Village Theatre Art
Gallery on Friday, August 23 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for an Opening Reception.  A special Art Chat with the center’s Director
of Exhibitions and Marketing, Tim Buckwalter, will be held on Wednesday, September
11 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
