ARTISTIC PURSUITS
Adults and kids alike can inspire their inner artists this month, thanks to a variety of colorful activities, workshops and events available in Virginia Beach.
In the Abstract Exhibit
Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art
December 21, 2022–July 29, 2023
Color, shape, line, form, and texture are the foundation for the language of visual art. Abstract artists use this language to investigate memory, emotion, and art itself. They move away from the expectations of creating a visual reality in their painting practice. There are few rules for this approach to painting; it exists in many different forms.
Represented here are four talented artists in our region who engage with abstract art: Kendall Burns, Mia Guile, Dathan Kane, and Ken Wright.

There’s still plenty of time to start the new year off with a feeling of zen and intention, and Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. is the idyllic setting for setting those intentions in motion, thanks to a variety of expertly curated workshops and events.
