COMMUNITY EVENT • First Friday: Tobiah Mundt and Sarah Boyts Yoder + Sahara Clemons

Join us on June 2 from 5:30-7:30PM for the First Friday openings of two new exhibitions in the Main and Dové Galleries at SSG. Stop by to see the exhibitions and meet the artists!

Ditto in the Main Gallery will highlight the work of two Charlottesville-based artists, Tobiah Mundt and Sarah Boyts Yoder. The artists will showcase collaborative works developed at the intersection of their individual practices: Yoder’s symbolic abstraction and Mundt’s fiber techniques. The exhibition is sponsored by the Galdencio-Pontillo Family, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Dové Gallery will feature Echoes in the Deep Blue, a solo exhibition of new work by Sahara Clemons. A multimedia artist, designer, and activist, Clemons revels in the fluidity of artistic mediums and interweaves painting, textiles, and dance in her creative process. Her work explores the intersection of race and gender and provides commentary on the socio-political forces that shape identity. The exhibition is sponsored by Charlotte and Ralph Dammann, Susan Haley Northington, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
