Description:
The Virginia Tech Perspective Gallery, located within the Squires Student Center, presents the Closing Art Reception for Joe Kelley' art exhibit titled "(Un)seen Works" on Friday, September 9, 2024.

Joe Kelley was a well-known artist living in Blacksburg whose untimely death at the age of 55 sent shock waves through the community. Nearly two years have passed, and decades of his work are still being discovered in places tucked away to be found later; a gift to the community who cherished his soulful vision of the Appalachian Mountains and humorous take on the everyday. Joe Kelley: (Un)seen Works explores the artist’s versatility, genius, and passion for life expressed through the art that he left as a reminder to live every moment fully.

This group of Joe Kelley's work explores pieces that have not been exhibited before and include his plein air landscapes created shortly after his graduation from Virginia Tech College of Architecture & his "Morning Monster" series which he posted on social media.

Admission is free and open to the public.

Stop by for this community event and enjoy great art, conversation, & refreshments.

The exhibit will be on display from June 10th through September 8th.

Gallery hours are Monday from 6:00-9:00 PM, Tuesday-Saturday from 12:00-9:00 PM and Sunday from 1:00-5:00 PM.
