One of the best parts of my job (and I’ve got a pretty cool job), is getting to see some of the cool things happening around town. I got to be a Virginia Beach event photographer for the opening of Chasing the Line, an art exhibition by Jessica Folck at the Creative Well Arts space. It was great to see so many people out to support the arts in ViBe Creative District – and to see how quickly her pieces were selling. You want to see people succeed, especially when they’re putting themselves out there artistically. It’s not easy to do. There’s a vulnerability that comes with it that I would imagine would be overwhelming. I imagine that there’s also a sense of pride when people buy into this very personal creativity that you have.
Creative Well Arts offers a few different openings a month (in fact, I’ve already photographed a new one since this one!). You’ve got to check out their space, follow them on the Internet to see what’s coming next, and go out and support local art. You’ll only ever regret the art that you didn’t purchase (trust me – there was a piece from this show that I wish was hanging in my house now).
