[For those of you planning ahead, we send early notice of CCAI|St. Mary's Art Center's first collaborative exhibition project. We hope you'll save the date and join us next month on Saturday, May 17 up on the Comstock.]"Orphic Excavations," an exhibition by Anthony Alston at St. Mary's Art Center (SMACenter), is the product of a two-month long Capital City Arts Initiative (CCAI) artist residency.
A reception for the artist will take place Saturday, May 17 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. SMACenter located at 55 North R St., Virginia City, NV. Admission is free and the public is cordially invited. The Center is open daily from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.
During his residency at SMACenter, Mr. Alston has focused on unearthing veins in the epic tales surrounding Virginia City and the foundation of the St. Mary's Art Center. By investigating, and subsequently diffusing and filtering, historical facts and legends in conjunction with using the structure of the historic building, Mr. Alston has created an engaging site-specific installation.
