Second Saturdays Art Opening @ Art on the Trax with Stacey Evans

Art on the Trax will present ”A Collection of Photographs” by Stacey Evans during the month of November, with a Second Saturday Artist Reception on Saturday, November 12^th.

Stacey Evans began her photographic career in the middle school as yearbook photographer. She went on to study photography at Virginia Commonwealth University and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Currently, Stacey works as an artist, educator and commercial photographer. Her clients include educational institutions, small businesses and individuals. She is adjunct faculty at Piedmont Virginia Community College and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, as well as an Artist-in-Residence in the Albemarle County school system. She exhibits her work regionally and is a resident artist at the McGuffey Art Center. Stacey lives in Charlottesville, Virginia with her husband and fellow artist John Grant.

Stacey grew up in Waynesboro, Virginia; a small town made diverse by its variety and combination of different landscapes – rural, urban, industrial and suburban – all within a 10 mile radius. Over the years, she has worked to translate her formative visual experiences and demonstrate the role landscapes play within culture. What this looks like changes from region to region. She is interested in how people occupy, shape and transform the land for use; how our experiences and feelings change over time and what we can read into the collective artifacts left behind.

Please join us for our Second Saturday Opening Reception on November 12th. 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 Old Crozet Train Station, 5784 Three Notch’d Road in Crozet, Virginia.
