Any day is a good day to visit museums around homes for sale in Charlottesville VA. Spring is inviting everyone to enjoy the art scene with the upcoming exhibits at various

local museums. Various organizations and artists have organized meaningful exhibits showcasing art with a purpose.

Art and Country

For a limited time, locals and guests can visit the Kluge Ruhe Aboriginal Art Museum and participate in reflecting about

one’s “connection with land” through the Aboriginal Art Collection of the University of Virginia. John W. Kluge

established the collection in 1997 and began it in 1988 after being inspired by the Dreamings exhibit in New York.

… Art and Country

The collection focuses on Australian Aboriginal Art, featuring 34 works on canvas, paper and eucalyptus bark. The

collection also aims to exhibit works that are focused on the connection between each work’s creator and his or her

homeland.

Because of Them We Can

This is a photo campaign initiated by Eunique Jones Gibson. The campaign began in 2013 featuring photographs of

children portraying icons who have served as tremendous inspirations to society. “Because of Them We Can”

purposefully coincides with the Black History month towards further emphasis on the artist’s goal of disapproving

stereotypes and the value of remembering that every person is great too.

… Because of Them We Can

Later on they were able to establish themselves as a non-profit media company that is on a mission. They are

spreading the word and making it possible for the new generation to realize their own potentials by reminding them of modern day heroes who have made significant changes in

society. This exhibit can be viewed at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center near Charlottesville VA

homes.

Courtroom Sketches of Ida Libby Dengrove

Have you seen John Lennon, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, John Gotti or Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno in the courtroom? Visit the Arthur J. Morris Law Library, one of the notable libraries

around properties for sale in Central Virginia, to see for yourself Ida Libby Dengrove’s works. From 1972 to 1987 Ida Libby Dengrove’s worked as a courtroom illustrator for NBC-

TV in New York. Since cameras were not allowed in the courtroom back then, her works served as the bridge

between the public and what happened inside the most striking trials of the twentieth century.

She was able to capture on paper the faces of infamous offenders as well as the atmosphere evident during

significant moments in these trials. Her weapon of choice included a 14 by 17 sketch pad and chalk pastels and charcoal pencils. The way she captured courtroom drama was almost

incomparable to photographs. One of her most notable works was Craig Crimmins “Murder at the Met” which later earned

her an Emmy.
