Virginia Center for the Book Announces Inaugural Frank Riccio Artist-In-Residency Brings Detroit-Based Printmaker Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. to Charlottesville Virginia Humanities’ Virginia Center for the Book announces that the first annual Frank Riccio Artist-in-Residency will bring Detroit-based printmaker Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. to Charlottesville, November 14-17, to begin shaping a collaborative art project he will undertake with the Charlottesville, Albemarle, and University of Virginia communities in 2019.

Kennedy’s November visit is made possible by the University of Virginia’s Office of the Executive Vice President & Provost’s Office and will include: • The annual Raucous Auction at the Virginia Center for the Book, located in the Jefferson School City Center, Wednesday, November 14, from 5:308:00 p.m. (This fundraising event is free and open to the public, with a $20 suggested donation or purchase.) • Planning meetings and tours with youth and community partners, local businesses and nonprofits, UVa student and faculty groups to familiarize Kennedy with Charlottesville and University community perspectives in preparation for the 2019 collaborative project (Interested groups may con-

tact maggieg@virginia.edu to request a meeting with Kennedy, Nov. 15-16.) • A panel discussion at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center to explore Kennedy’s recent project with VCU’s Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA); The program will take place Thursday, November 15 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. and will feature Kennedy in conversation with Amber Esseiva, ICA assistant curator, moderated by Kevin McFadden, printmaker and Virginia Humanities chief operating officer. • Open community printmaking with Kennedy at the Virginia Center for the Book on Friday, November 16 from 8:00-11:30 a.m. and from 3:00-7:00 p.m., hosted in partnership with McGuffey Art Center, New City Arts Initiative, Second Street Gallery, and the Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative. • All-ages printmaking with Kennedy and a free screening of Proceed and Be Bold!, a documentary about Kennedy’s work, on Saturday, November 17 from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. at Light House Studio’s Vinegar Hill Theatre. Film will be shown on loop throughout the event; community members may view portions of the film or its entirety. Details about Kennedy’s 2019 visit and collaborative public art project will be announced in January. About Amos Paul Kennedy Jr.: Kennedy is a self-proclaimed “humble Negro printer” whose letterpress work represents the messages and identities of African-Americans whose “words… have largely been excluded from ‘fine print.’” He uses traditional letterpress techniques to create richly colored, handpulled prints that often incorporate messages and aphorisms that spur conversation about race and class. Through his fine, layered printing of simple text using traditional letterpress technique, Kennedy’s work encourages reflection on historical and current African-American identities and overlap between the struggles of the Civil Rights movement and contemporary needs for bold action to pursue social justice. He received a BA in Mathematics from Grambling State University and his MFA in Graphic Design from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Recent awards include a Joyce Award

(2016–17) and the United States Artists Glasgow Fellowship (2015). Kennedy was also the premier featured artist at the Virginia Commonwealth University’s Institute for Contemporary Art, exhibiting work from collaborations with local black-owned businesses. To learn more and see examples of the artist’s work, visit KennedyPrints.com. About the Frank Riccio Artist-in-Residency: The Virginia Center for the Book (the Center) hosts a community book arts studio in Charlottesville’s historic Jefferson School City Center, featuring the state’s largest public collection of letterpress type, binding equipment, and more than fifty member-artists creating works of book art and printed ephemera. In 2018, the Center began raising funds for the Riccio Artist-in-Residency to honor the memory of artist and Center co-founder Frank Riccio, recognize his legacy as a talented and tireless practitioner and educator among Virginia’s creative community, and build upon his loyal and generous support for the work of book artists who bring to life the Center. Through the annual Residency, the Center will host one book artist, printmaker, or illustrator each year to partner with local organizations to create a collaborative community project. Additional details about the Artist-in-Residency will be announced in 2019, when the Center hosts Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. for the Residency’s inaugural collaborative public art project.

SEVEN HOMELESS MAMMOTHS WANDER NEW ENGLAND at Live Arts November 16 through December 15, 2018. The Story A New England town is disrupted when the financially strapped local college announces the closing of its natural history museum. Letters from angry townsfolk pour in, and Dean Wreen is stressed out. Despite this, she invites her ex-girlfriend Greer to live with her while Greer undergoes experimental cancer treatment. The arrangement is complicated, however, by the presence of Andromeda, Dean Wreen’s much younger yogi and lover. While the women navigate this “alternative kinship structure,” townspeople clamor to save the museum’s woolly mammoths. SEVEN HOMELESS MAMMOTHS is a screwball comedy about the pitfalls of monogamy, jealousy, and academia.

Director Larry Goldstein says, “Working on this play is like attending contemporary comedy school. The old titles of ‘straight men’ and ‘character actors’ are inadequate to describe the complexity, hilarity, and simplicity of this very funny, love story. It has been a pleasure to find the truth in funny-business, and the wit in the difficult challenges of long-term relationships.” Why Here? Why Now?

Luck, says, “Every year, we invite play submissions from our extensive list of past and present volunteers—and every year there are a few plays submitted by two or even three people. “But the morning after the Reader’s Circle (a monthly play reading group that is free and open to the public) read this play, I had six recommendations for this piece in my inbox. And I can understand why! “It is a play about living in a University town, about getting rid of structures that are beloved by some and regarded as utterly obsolete or offensive by others. It is a play about women and leadership, and it is a play about love. Plus, it’s a comedy—and we could all use a little laughter right now.”

IS GOLF YOUR GAME?

Or maybe it’s tennis, pickleball, or swimming? (How does a saltwater pool sound?) And wouldn’t it be great if, when you get home, tired from a workout and ready to relax, you could enjoy beautiful scenery while you sit on your deck and take in the wonders of nature all around you? The folks who live in Spring Creek at Zion Crossroads have these experiences, and others like them, every day. Many also appreciate the sense of community and the easy stroll to their local eatery, Tavern on the Green. One Spring Creek resident called it, “an incredible restaurant and tavern that has acquired somewhat of a ‘Cheers’ atmosphere (where everyone knows your name).” And if the idea of living in a community that welcomes people of all ages is your thing, Spring Creek is a good choice. Expect to find what Trey Durham, with Keller Williams Alliance - Charlottesville, calls “a broad swath” of people from singles to families to retirees.

Spring Creek’s real estate market is active and REALTORS® are excited to see resale homes selling right along with new construction. Lots are also available. Reserve yours today and choose one of the community’s featured builders, or find your own when you are ready to get started. And if all of that is not enough, you will love Spring Creek’s home prices and enjoy significant savings in property taxes compared to either Albemarle or Charlottesville. You may be thinking, “that all sounds great but wouldn’t you have to drive a long way from town to find these incredible and affordable benefits all in one place?” If so, you would be wrong. Spring Creek is conveniently located a short distance from Interstate 64, just 20 minutes from Charlottesville and 35 minutes from Short Pump.

Spring Creek Lifestyle Living is relaxed and easy at Spring Creek. “It feels magical when you go in the gate,” says Bevin Boisvert with Roy Wheeler Realty, Co. She describes the

always friendly guard at the gate and the clean, well kept common areas that make the neighborhood feel like a resort. The quick and easy commute to both Charlottesville and Richmond is also a plus. According to one resident: “I work in Charlottesville but realized I did not want to live there.” The location between Charlottesville and Richmond is “perfect,” she said, because she can hop on the Interstate and go either direction whether for work or shopping. On the other hand, there are also “some conveniences right outside our gates (Walmart, Sheets, Lowes). We are out of the hustle and bustle of the City, and feel we have the best of both worlds,” she concluded.

but also “challenging for tournament professionals.” Players also appreciate the bent grass fairways and beautiful greens enhanced by “the natural contour of the land [that helps] make Spring Creek a unique, exceptional golfing experience.” Even if you don’t play golf, living on a lot adjacent to the course adds value to your lifestyle and your pocketbook. Corky Bishop, Club General Manager, estimates golf course lots may be worth twice that of similar ones elsewhere in the community. And when your house backs up to the course you have a nice unobstructed view with no added yard maintenance. It is a “fact of real estate,” that lots with golf course or water views (also available at Spring Creek), sell for more

For golfers, the premier course, described by Durham as one of Spring Creek’s “biggest features,” may be the main draw. Atlantic Builder’s Sales Manager David Boisvert agrees describing Spring Creek as “an amazing community close to Charlottesville [that] is amenity-rich with a top-rated golf course.” The golf course has received numerous awards over the years. In 2017, Golf Digest named it #66 on their list of America’s Greatest Public Courses, and it has been part of this elite group since 2011. It was also recognized in Golf Digest’s Best Golf Courses in Virginia, ranking #11 in 2017. Course designer, Ed Carton, describes the course as one that is “playable for higher-handicap golfers,”

than similar lots elsewhere in the community,” Durham said. Conservation lots are another premium option in Spring Creek. These border (usually at the back) a “no build” area, which means as long as you live there, only nature will be your neighbor on that side, explains Charlene Easter with Spring Creek Realty. Another popular sport at Spring Creek is pickleball, played on a tennis court with a whiffle ball and ping pong paddles. Three dedicated courts are now available to accommodate the huge demand, explains Vic Gregor. A local resident, he was one of the first pickleball players and helped build the courts. Organized games are available five days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00

they settle in, they discover an active community with plenty of ways to meet new people. “It truly feels like a community in the best sense,” Easter says. A resident of several years she has witnessed the excitement of new home owners when they realize they live in a welcoming and friendly place and can “jump right into neighborhood events.” One new resident described the neighborhood culture as “neighbors looking out for neighbors, everyone wanting to help with whatever it is they are good at...and community meetings where people actually listen and speak up.” Newcomers also find friends when they gather at Tavern on the Green, the full service restaurant and bar over-

looking the lake and the 18th green. Open to the public, the Tavern serves lunch and dinner with a full service menu that includes dietary preferences such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or kosher. Just ask your server. The clubhouse is also the place for family-friendly activities like 4th of July fireworks, Easter Egg hunts, Oktoberfest and Breakfast with Santa. Bishop sees part of his job as encouraging community by getting residents of all ages involved in events such as these.

Overall sales are up 13 percent compared to last year at this time says Dan Girouard, Broker with Spring Creek Realty. “We experienced the typical summer slowdown,” said David Boisvert, Sales Manager for Atlantic Builders, “but I’m already seeing business pick up this month.” Durham agrees stating that the market is “good,” adding that new construction is “brisk.” Resale homes are also moving faster than they were a year ago. Girouard reports that the year-over-year average number of days on the market (DOM) for resale homes decreased from 131 to 125. Sellers are also happy that the resale homes inventory is at an all-time low, which means there is much less competition than a year ago. Spring Creek’s success is highlighted in CAAR’s (Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS®) third quarter housing report that shows a dramatic increase in Louisa County’s home prices. “A lot of that has to do with new homes being sold in Spring Creek,” explains Michael Guthrie, Broker with Roy Wheeler Realty, Co. He adds that this market activity also reflects rising home prices in Albemarle and Charlottesville that push buyers further out in their search for the perfect house. Families that want to build a home in Spring Creek, but are not yet ready to move, can purchase a lot today and hold it until they are ready to build, locking in today’s price. When the time is right, the subdivision’s featured builders stand ready to help, or buyers can bring their own. Coming in Spring of 2019 there will be a new inventory of lots for both single family and attached homes (also known as villa homes), Girourad said. He urges you to visit soon and be one of the first to reserve a lot.

for rental. One couple bought a home to rent out and a villa home where they plan to live after retirement, but which, meanwhile, is leased. They referred some of their friends who understood Spring Creek’s potential and also bought two homes.

Fantastic nearly level lot on a cul-de-sac. Atlantic Builders, Stanley Martin, Dobson Homes, Piedmont Homes, Craig Builders & Jamison Davis & Co are approved builders. PRICED under assessed value! Less than 20 minutes to Charlottesville & 10 minutes to Zion Crossroads. MLS#577929 $77,500

Everyone Welcome Spring Creek is a vibrant place with a cross section of home owners from different age groups. Access to this kind of diversity would not be possible, for example, to retirees who move into a 55+ community. “What an incredible community of individuals coming together to create an energetic, joyful environment,” one resident said. “The combination of young families raising children and retired folks together volunteering to create a friendly and welcoming neighborhood is very special. In addition, children playing at the park, laughter at the bus stops, planned family events to celebrate holidays, all provide the community with across the lifespan experiences.” Do you want to move into a community that is both affordable and close-in, a place where people of all ages enjoy life together? If so ask your agent about Spring Creek. A beautiful resale, or the perfect building lot awaits you now. Then move in and enjoy all of Spring Creek’s amenities with a host of new friends.

from move-up buyers to downsizers and even an occasional first timer. Young families make up about 40 percent of Spring Creek buyers, Girouard said. Most commute into either Richmond or Charlottesville for work. A big advantage for families that need more space to spread out—often younger folks but not always—is that many of Spring Creek’s homes come with basements, O’Reilly says. This kind of space is great for play rooms, hobby areas or workshops. Retirees and pre-retirees appreciate that at Spring Creek their money goes so much further than elsewhere, Girouard explained. These folks want to down-size and “build a home with ‘one-level living’ features offered by our featured builders.” He is delighted that “Stanley Martin Homes recently introduced their Marcella Villa homes starting at $299,000. These homes for one-level living have “VERY exciting floor plans” and he expects a newly decorated model to be ready by Spring 2019. For buyers who want a brand new home but can’t wait while one is built, Atlantic Builders has two that are available and ready for move in. They are “just waiting for your finishing touch and can be ready for delivery in approximately 30 days,” Girouard said. While most Spring Creek buyers plan to live in their homes, the potential for appreciation has not escaped the notice of investors. Two separate sets of Bevin Boisvert’s clients purchased Spring Creek homes

ne of the most appealing quality-of-life aspects of Central Virginia is our vibrant art scene thanks to artisans who populate studios in both Charlottesville and the nearby, scenic Blue Ridge countryside. “We have an extraordinary group of talented people working sometimes in obscurity,” declares Joe Samuels who, with his wife Owie, owns Jos. T. Samuels REALTORS® in Charlottesville. “I like the diversity of the presentations. There are so many wonderful gift ideas and Owie and I are always shopping for family and friends.” Regional artisans founded the Tour in 1994 to enhance awareness of professionals living and working in our area. An excellent way to explore this art trove is during the 24th annual Artisans Studio Tour on Saturday and Sunday, November 10 and 11, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This year’s Tour includes 49 artisans in 28 studios in Charlottesville and surrounding counties. Central Vir-

Meet Some Artisans While we’d love to feature every single member on the tour, we are happy we can highlight a variety of artistic callings. New on the tour this year is blacksmith Corry Blanc, founder of Charlottesville’s Blanc Creatives (Studio 18). With his current team of ten, including chefs, designers and artisans, Blanc creates heirloom pieces for daily use including steel and copper cooking pans, wooden items like spatulas and boards, cleavers and knives. He forges the cookware by hand with hammer and anvil to create functional pieces rooted in old traditions, but with a modern look. Everyone who finds themselves in the kitchen will be charmed when using these wonderful tools. Lotta Helleberg (Studio 12) is a Swedish-born artist based in Charlottesville who has been experimenting with textile printmaking for more than a decade. Most recently, she’s been focused on eco-printing, relief processes, and local plant-based dyes.

ginia’s fall foliage provides a stunning backdrop to this free driving tour of studios of returning favorites and new artists. During the tour, featured artisans welcome the public into their studios and galleries. For many visitors, the best part of the tour is meeting and talking with the artisans themselves. It’s also a fascinating opportunity to learn about the processes involved in creating pottery, furniture, woven items, jewelry, stained glass, and other media. At some studios, visitors see demonstrations and in others they have a chance at hands-on experience. In addition, most studios provide locally sourced refreshments. Each artisan has undergone a rigorous approval process ensuring all work is of the highest quality. This means the tour is an excellent opportunity to find a unique gift for someone special or to add to your own collection.

“My art embraces natural materials and a commitment to leaving behind minimal waste and toxicity, paying homage to the natural world in both form and content,” she explains. “Most of all, I want to instill an appreciation of the environment we have near.” Her unique works have been featured in dozens of solo and group exhibitions as distant as Oregon, New York, and Canada. Jo Perez (Studio 4) is a glass artist. “Color, light, line, texture and form,” she says. “I love the magical qualities of glass!” She’s been “playing” with glass for nearly 40 years and her creations include both glass art and jewelry. She confesses she still can’t wait to get into the studio to make something new. “The challenge of creating a pleasing work of glass art or an interesting piece of jewelry and the technical skills needed are what I seek in the studio

While she especially likes creating mirror frames, her work also includes carvings, wall-mounted compositions, and painted canvases with embellishments. Much of her material is repurposed from remnants of wood, copper, aluminum and other scraps she collects from local woodworkers and recycling centers. She finds that random bits of discarded items often suggest new designs. She also adds texture from a variety of papers, leather, and fibers.
