Airport Art Program Hosts Two Artists for Final Exhibit in 2009
The Charlottesville Albemarle Airport is pleased to feature two local artists for the final exhibit of the Art in the Airport program for 2009. The theme is education and will celebrate the beginning of a new school year. The first artist will be local photographer Todd Cohen. The centerpiece of his exhibit are photographs from his recent Day in the Life series documenting over time students and teachers in action at a local school in Charlottesville. In addition, a full range of classic portraits, documentary images, and special event work will represent the diversity of this artist’s production from over the last 20 years. This show can be seen in the upper level exhibit area of the terminal. The second artist will be Judith K. Townsend, a well known local painter whose work in water color has been displayed in exhibits throughout Central Virginia for over a decade. Her work appears in the permanent collection of places such as the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression, University of Virginia Law Library, University of Virginia Health System and in numerous private collections throughout the United States. Long affiliated with the University of Virginia, Mrs. Townsend brings her love for mathematics to art in the form of geometric shapes, expressed in water color paint. Her show can be seen in the lower level exhibit area of the terminal. These exhibits, along with the current Charlottesville Albemarle Art Association gallery will offer airport customers a variety of art mediums to explore and provides an aesthetic welcome for new travelers to the region.
