Inspired by poet Emily Dickinson, this virtual show focuses on birds and the symbolism of birds – resilience, rebirth, joy, hope, love and peace. The exhibit features photographer BECKY HOLMES-FARLEY as well over 60 other artists who capture the beauty of our feathered friends.
Live Streamed Reception, June 3, 7-8:30pm
In response to the Belmont Gallery of Art’s temporarily closing due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, we decided to create a virtual gallery space that would allow the BGA to continue to curate and display art and support artists during these uncertain times. FACING YOU: A Portraits Show is the first exhibit we’ve put together in this new online format. It was a process—with a bit of a learning curve and many hours spent building the site—but the Virtual BGA is now ready to launch.
Thank you to all the FACING YOU participating artists and the community for your continued support of the BGA and its programs.
