What’s up this week in Charlotte’s visual arts?
Who to Meet
On April 13 at 10:30 a.m. get to know the two artists whose work is on view at Hodges Taylor on Kingston Avenue. Charlotte-based artists Amy Herman and Micah Cash will discuss the work on display, which is a photographic conversation. Every Friday for 24 weeks Herman and Cash sent each other a photograph in response to an earlier exchanged image. The artists allowed each image to ruminate until they formed a reply. The resulting exhibition, <REPLY>, is on view through May 10. This event is free and open to all. Details: http://hodgestaylor.com/exhibition-present/
What to Do
Check out the many different events during Central Piedmont Community College’s 10-day Sensoria festival, a celebration of literature and the arts. We recommend Andrea Vail’s artist talk, presented in conjunction with a site specific artwork created specifically for the festival. “Bridging” is a collaborative, multi-campus textile work, created with CPCC student-sourced imagery. It’s installed in Overcash Lobby on the college’s central campus. The talk is at 12:30 p.m. April 11 in Tate Hall in the Overcash building on the central campus. It’s free and open to the public.
