Second Saturdays Art Opening @ Art on the Trax with Alexandria Searls

Art on the Trax will present “Floating in the Summertime” by Alexandria Searls during the month of June, with a Second Saturday Artist Reception on Saturday, July 9th.

For “Floating in the Summertime,” Alexandria Searls used an underwater camera to photograph leaves and other travelers on the Rivanna River and on other local waterways. She shot up through the water, often revealing clouds. Sometimes the surface of the river is a mirror, and other times it is a lens to the outer world of sun and sky. “I began the project to get to know the landscape of the rivers from underneath. The rock formations and river bottom and even the color of the water changed from place to place.” Her book, “Floating in the Summertime” is the basis for this exhibition, though she also includes unpublished photos.

Please join us for our Second Saturday Opening Reception on July 9th. This reception is part of Crozet’s Second Saturday events and runs from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. We’ll be serving up The Art Box’s famous ice cream sundaes topped with fruit from local orchards.

All events are free and open to the public. Art on the Trax is located at Creative Framing and The Art Box, across from the Olde Crozet Train Station, 5784 Three Notch’d Road in Crozet, Virginia.
