WOV's First 2021 Anniversary Exhibit @ BNY Mellon Gallery Thru July 25th

Made You Look Series #4 and #5 by Ashley Jones.

WOV kicked off their 40th Anniversary last fall with their exhibition Creatives in the Era of COVID 19 @ the Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media in October 2020. Even then, the concerns of how to get work into galleries and spaces that were closed by the pandemic weighed heavy. But following the presidential election, the spirit of resilience surfaced, and the country danced in the streets.

Fortunately, we at WOV had never lost heart. All through 2020, the foundations were being laid for a truly celebratory year in 2021. We have four wonderful exhibitions planned during our 40th: WOV Celebrating 40 Creative Years at the BNY Mellon Satellite Gallery now through July 25 which travel to Touchstone Center for Crafts. and remains until October 2. Our summer event will be Motown, Art Inspired by the Music at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater. starting June 19th And finally, our 40th Anniversary Retrospective at the University Art Gallery,@Frick Fine Arts Building in Oakland in the fall of 2021.
