SSG Outreach Exhibition Artist Spotlight: José Bedia Second Street Gallery’s Outreach Exhibition is now on display until Saturday, 23. We are proud to display the artwork from our 2016-2017 season of outreach workshops that worked with students form the Boys & Girl’s Club, Community Housing Partners, and Charlottesville Public Schools. We love being able to connect our exhibiting artists, such as José Bedia, with the students of Charlottesville. José exhibited at Second Street this past February. He is Cuban American Artist who is known for his Neo-Primitivistic figurative style. José has received many awards and acclamations positioning himself as one of the most notorious and prestigious creators of art from the second half of the xx century to the present. While he was here, José visited Charlottesville High School’s AP art students where he gave a presentation about his life and artwork. Each student then made a painting/ drawing inspired by José’s technique and talk. The day ended with a critique of the finished work with José present. Giving the students an opportunity to receive feedback on their work from this internationally exhibiting artist. Come to the Outreach Exhibition and see the work that the students of Charlottesville High School created while working with José Bedia.
