Apprentice to Light: The West of Ireland - Photographs by Glen McClure

Born in Norfolk and a lifelong resident of Virginia, Glen McClure has brought the people and places of the United States and Europe into focus through his photography. His first visit to Ireland in 1994 lead to his obsession with landscapes and seascapes of this great country. In his words, “I follow the light. Literally, I look at the sky and then drive or walk in the direction that looks interesting. I have followed many a tiny, narrow back road with no idea where it would lead, and something magical is waiting at the end.” This exhibition features a selection of McClure’s work over the past 25 years.

March 1 – March 29, 2024 (K-12) Celebrating Youth Art Month

Youth Art Month (YAM) is an annual celebration that recognizes the importance of art education for young people and highlights the artistic achievements of students across the United States. Held each March, Youth Art Month aims to emphasize the significance of visual arts in education and encourage creative expression among children and adolescents. The Charles H. Taylor Visual Arts Center will showcase the talents of young artists through an exhibition in one of our galleries. This initiative not only provides a platform for students to display their artwork but also promotes the value of art education in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and cultural awareness among the youth. Youth Art Month serves as a testament to the vibrant and diverse artistic talents emerging from schools, fostering a deeper appreciation for the role of art in shaping the lives of young individuals.
