Latin American Contemporary Art Projects, commonly known as LaCa, was founded in 2013 by Argentinian natives and brothers, Walter and Juan Dolhare, and local arts patron Neely Verano (pictured). Its niche focus, now with locations in both Charlotte and Buenos Aires, uniquely positions the gallery to serve as a gateway for connecting highly talented, contemporary Latin American artists with the increasingly diversifying arts scene of Charlotte, as well as to provide a location in the Southeast region of the United States for art collectors to develop and foster an appreciation for the visually striking narrative of contemporary Latin American art. 2018 marks the gallery’s 5th anniversary year, and with it the opening of its café, Basal Coffee, founded by coffee expert Bryce Laguer. “The café represent our overall vision coming fully to life, which takes a different approach to the traditional gallery model,” notes Verano. “What makes us special, in addition to the relationship-driven orientation of our work and our inspiring vision, is the experience that our clients and patrons have when they visit. We aim to serve all sectors of the community by being an inclusive, dynamic place where cross-cultural interaction, intellectual stimulation, and creative dialogue occurs,” she adds. The café, nestled adjacent to the gallery, will offer a full menu, premier specialty coffee, and curated wine selections from across the globe. Combined with access to artists in its newly refurbished studio spaces and museum-quality exhibitions in its 8,000 square-foot gallery, LaCa Projects brings an important and hip cultural asset to Charlotte and the region, and in a revitalized neighborhood just five minutes from Uptown Charlotte. “Building LaCa Projects’ into what it is today, and leading it into our bright future, has been an amazing and rewarding journey. We are proud to be a small but mighty force in Charlotte’s burgeoning art and culture scene,” says Verano.

an extraordinary flexibility that allows an artist to achieve virtually any form, to hold elements in suspension, to achieve great detail or soft abstraction. I also have a deep appreciation for the duality in the making of a glass artwork: the creation begins with an idea, limited only by the particular artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagination and skill in working with the material; then the process gradually becomes more technical. Pulling cane and murine, or carving out a mold, or selecting colored panes of glass. Then laying out the design, or stacking and shuffling the panes, or pouring molten glass into a mold. Finally, at least for glass artists who work with heat, the process of thoughtful creativity ends abruptly and a burst of urgency descends as the work moves to the hotshop. In the hotshop a defined window of time dictates a precise, choreographed dance of fire and color as the artist and at least one assistant race against time to heat, coax, and shape the artwork into a form that will cool for days, or weeks, before being revealed as a jaw-dropping work of art. The process, and the resulting work, never fail to amaze me.

Define the art you choose to represent. I look for originality and quality of execution, and love discovering artists who are making unique, thoughtful, and captivating work that compels the viewer to stop and look just a little deeper. I represent a diverse group of emerging, mid-career and established artists, each of whom reflects upon how to take their work a step beyond beauty in order to courageously explore meaning and purpose as they create. The gallery represents paintings, sculpture, and glass art ranging from abstracts to landscapes, with artists who are classically trained, as well â&#x20AC;&#x153;outsiderâ&#x20AC;? and contemporary self-taught artists. You have recently introduced Glass Art to Elder Gallery of Contemporary Art. Discuss your interest in Glass Art. Glass art mystifies me. Although it is a particularly unforgiving medium, glass also has

In your experience, how has glass art blossomed as a medium for fine art collectors?

writing about a result or dramatic turn of events. As a gallery owner and as a collector, I recognize that nothing connects a person more intimately to a work of art than understanding the story of the artwork. It may be the artist herself, and how a personal experience unfolded layer upon layer as she took paint to canvas; it may be the physical making of the artwork, and the effort or labor or circumstances under which it was completed; or it may be a time or place or event that inspired an artwork. Understanding the story of an artist, or an artwork, is critical to understanding the power of art.

North Carolina holds a special place in the history of American glass art, as several artists of the Studio Glass Movement settled in the region early in their careers. Despite this history, however, there are few galleries in the southeast that offer museum quality fine art glass for sale. We are excited to represent three preeminent glass artists at the gallery, and we have found there is enormous enthusiasm from those who are already familiar with the craft, but also from those for whom glass is relatively undiscovered. It is fun to educate clients and collectors, and it is a joy to share this medium with Charlotte.

What does the future hold for Elder Gallery of Contemporary Art? Just as many artists obsess over their craft and believe in carrying on a tradition of detail, I am keenly focused on carrying on the tradition I inherited, while growing the roster of outstanding artists and continuing to build the sense of community that Larry Elder established a decade and a half ago. I am really excited about growing the Charlotte Millennial Art Program (Charlotte “MAPS”), our young professional group that introduces “true” Millennials and Millennials at heart to cultural happenings and plans networking events connected to the arts. I am also planning a thoughtful mix of programming that not only builds appreciation for and understanding of art, but also encourages analysis of the world around us. In addition to our current show, The Art of Struggle, I am working on a socially conscious veterans-focused exhibition for November. I hope to build awareness of issues – many overlooked – around returning servicemen and women while also highlighting extraordinary artists in the veteran community. We will also have an invitational to highlight some new talent in the region, and I am planning on several exhibitions with some of the gallery’s established professional artists who are producing fun and interesting new works as they continue to grow.

What do you seek to bring to the Charlotte art scene? It’s been my experience that a great gallery has the ability to continually challenge the way things have been done in the past, whether through a reinvention of what’s done within gallery walls or what’s created outside of them, supporting new, young, and/ or political work, and embracing the expansion of existing and new mediums. Through a combination of progressive programming and diverse contemporary exhibitions, I am hoping to create an environment that encourages dialogue, inspires questioning, and builds community. From television journalist to attorney to gallery owner. Describe your journey from art patron to art dealer. In many ways, my journey is a linear one. The common thread in each of my professional roles is the power of story. As a television journalist, the power of story was fueled by word, video, and sound. I combined creativity and inquisitiveness to figure out how to best communicate information and educate or enlighten viewers. As an attorney, there is nothing more important than effectively communicating my client’s story – whether to the other side in a case, a judge making a decision, or a reporter

Set back from a busy road in North Carolina, this barn and shed are rapidly becoming one with nature, covered as they are by wisteria. It was a view that demanded Elaine paint it – the perfect setting for any plot filled with family secrets, delusional characters, and grotesque outcomes. For Maja Shaw, art is about illusion. Maja enjoys creating the illusion of three-dimensional space in two-dimensions without photographic detail. In her florals she emphasizes the sculptural qualities of the subject against abstract backgrounds of intense color. Subjects are often defined with minimal detail, allowing the viewer’s eye to fill in the rest. The sunny days in eastern Washington illuminate the flowers in her garden, providing many of the ideas for her paintings.

The Winners’ Circle Winners of 311 Gallery’s 2017 Juried Shows.

Abstract photography is Sara Risley’s ideal instrument for expression. Greatly influenced by the Expressionists, she seeks to distort what is in front of her by saturating color, accenting, or creating lines and shapes to create images that have not been seen before yet are vaguely familiar.

Elaine Dowling, Maja Shaw, Michelle Peterlin, & Sara Risley.

Michelle Peterlin’s piece, The Guardian, is the first piece of a series that explores faith and spirituality within conflict. Her focus began with PTSD patients returning from a tour in Afghanistan; she was drawn to a GI and his German Shepherd service dog. The series has evolved over the years to include area first responders, policemen, and people that portray courage in tough situations.

311 Gallery February 1-24 Opening Feb 2, 2018 The Winners’ Circle showcases the art of Elaine Dowling, Maja Shaw, Michelle Peterlin, and Sara Risley; the winners of 311 Gallery’s 2017 Juried Shows. Whether it’s the plays of Tennessee Williams, the novels of William Faulkner or the work of any number of writers who draw on their American Southern roots, nothing says “Southern Gothic” to Elaine Dowling like the combination of beauty and decay.
