Shockoe Artspace showcases works by painters Samantha Bantly, Natalie Schmitting and Ashlynn Browning in “Curious Things,” now on view at the gallery.
“These three painters are highly idiosyncratic in [their] approach and outcome, but share a common thread in their love for painting, as well as an intensity towards how they make,” says Ryan Lauterio, director of the gallery.
The exhibition coincides with a funding drive to launch Shockoe Artspace studios, a space for exhibitions, programming, artist studios and a recording studio.
An official opening will take place July 5 from 6 to 9 p.m., with an artist talk on July 6 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. “Curious Things” continues through Aug. 24.
