Current and Upcoming Artwork in Charlottesville, VA


It’s that time of year when the snow has all but melted, the skies are gray, and everything is dull and barren. It can be quite a depressing sight, so what better way is there to brighten your spirits than with the pleasing aesthetics of local artwork?

  1. Now through February 22, 2014: Charlottesville Camera Club Exhibit at Green House Coffee. Coffee and art seem to go hand-in-hand, so what better place is there to indulge in some amazing photography than at a local coffee shop? (But, if you’d rather not drive all the way to Crozet for coffee, then check out Baine’s Books and Coffee right here in Scottsville, VA!)
