Join us tonight from 5-8pm for the opening Reception of Temporary Pleasures, a solo exhibition featuring the work of Debbie Quick.
Drawing inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, the work considers our contemporary obsession with fleeting pleasures, material excess, and the pursuit of things that are ultimately temporary, disposable or doomed.

In this exhibition, clay becomes both a material and a metaphor. Its transformation from something soft and malleable into something seemingly permanent creates a tension between the fleeting nature of desire and our attempts to preserve, possess, and assign meaning to objects.
Temporary Pleasures opens Friday, October 23, 5-8pm and will remain on view through November 21.

Please join us this Friday for the opening reception of Firewood, a love letter to VCU wood. 5-8pm

Changes are afoot in department . The school has chosen to “pause” the MFA wood program and eliminate the sole full-time faculty line in the area. While this news is leaving us confused and heartbroken the Wood community has managed to come together to uplift and celebrate the enduring skills unique to this Program.

Firewood brings together multiple generations of artistry formed by the VCUarts Wood program. Collaborators Annie Evelyn (faculty) and Alicia Dietz (MFA, 2016) have been instrumental in bringing together this community. Alma’s is honored to host and we invite you to join us for the opening reception of Firewood this Friday, April 10 from 5-8pm.

Firewood showcases the talent that has spanned over 50 years of the VCUarts Wood Program.
