Art Galleries in July

Museum is a hat-tip to city destinations for summer ventures.

The thought-provoking abstract images of Shawn Pilj's "Open Arms" painting and Kimberly Zook's depiction of the "Asthenosphere," a shifting layer in the earth's mantle, remind us of the value of embracing unanticipated experiences, which often bring joy and a sense of fulfillment.

“As Above”

New New Works By Nicole Myers

Opening Reception First Fri, July 7, 6-99p

Art First, 824 Caroline St

. Art First Gallery presents "As Above." a solo show by local Fredericksburg artist, Nicole Myers. This is her third annual show at Art First Gallery, and this time, she is delighted to share collection of all-new acrylic landscape paintings that feature dramatic cloudscapes. Her cloudscapes stretch over many iconic regional landmarks including the Shenandoah Valley and Skyline Drive, local Battlefields as well as her "happiest place," the Outer banks of North Carolina.

Chris Cepulis has always enjoyed photography. She would take out her Canon point-andshoot camera and photograph a wedding, party, or baseball game, vacation, spring flowers, or architecture. In 2021, she was walking on the Heritage Trail when, thanks to a mama fox and her kits, she got bit by the wildlife photography bug. Then came the camera and lens upgrades. She learned how to shoot outside of Auto Mode, and the rest is history as they say.
