Description:
The Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech presents an Artist Talk with Josephine Halvorson on Thursday, September 4, 2025 inside The Cube.

Fall 2025 exhibiting artist Josephine Halvorson joins Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech curator Brian Holcombe for a free discussion.

Josephine Halvorson has teamed with Dana Frankfort to create the art exhibit "Seeing and Reading" which explores the role of text in painting and its potential as both language and image and is on display at the Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech.

Josephine grew up on Cape Cod, where she first studied art on the beaches of Provincetown and with Barnet Rubenstein at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Halvorson attended the Cooper Union School of Art (BFA, 2003), Yale Norfolk (2002), and continued her interdisciplinary education at Columbia University’s School of the Arts (MFA, 2007). Recent solo exhibitions include On the Ground at the Ogunquit Museum of Art, Maine (2022) and Contemporary Voices (2021) at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, where she was the museum’s first artist-in-residence in 2019. Other notable solo exhibitions include the Foster Prize Exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (2019) and Measures at Storm King Art Center, New Windsor, New York (2016). In 2015 she presented her first museum survey exhibition, Slow Burn, at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem.

The Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech is located at 330 Turner Street NW in Blacksburg, VA.
