FACE TO FACE: INTERNATIONAL
April 1-29, 2022
Opening Reception: April 1, 5:30-7:30pm

For 4 years, The Bridge has used our Face to Face portrait program to connect artists and community members one-on-one, resulting in an ever-growing collection of portraits showcasing a diverse and vibrant Charlottesville through the eyes of its artists. This last year, we partnered with Speak! Language Center and the Charlottesville Sister Cities Commission to adapt this program for international participation with sister/friendship cities around the world. These cities included, Besançon, France, Poggio a Caiano, Italy, Winneba, Ghana, and Huehuetenango, Guatemala. Two participants from each city were selected to be paired with Charlottesville area artists, Tori Cherry, Nicholas Hall, Jae Johnson, Chicho Lorenzo, Ramona Martinez, Sarah Miller, Erin Root, and Bryce Yates. All portraits and biographical info will be exhibited in April in our Belmont neighborhood art gallery prior to being gifted to the sister/friendship city participants. Come see the wonderful variety of work created and have the opportunity to speak with the artists about their experiences at our First Friday opening!
