Description:
The Alexander Black House & Cultural Center presents Exhibition Opening Art Reception for the Blacksburg Regional Art Association's Annual Theme Show titled "We The People" on Saturday, June 10, 2026.

This year’s Blacksburg Regional Art Association Theme Show, "We The People", explores the living meaning of a phrase that is at once historic, intimate, and unfinished. During the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, artists are especially central to reflecting the shared life of a nation as something lived, inherited, contested and continually reimagined: nostalgic Americana; the tensions of the present moment; simple celebrations of humanity; deeper explorations of political power and participation. Work in this show will depict how individuals understand themselves as part of something larger, how stories are passed on, how belonging is felt or denied, and how a people recognizes itself over time.

Join us for an opening reception and awards ceremony with the artists. This year’s judge is Donna Cruce Kocka.

The show runs from July 10 - September 19, 2026.

The Alexander Black House & Cultural Center is located at 204 Draper Road in Blacksburg, VA.
