From July 3-August 26, 2015, New City Arts presents "Play the Radio," a site-specific installation by Charlottesville artist Amanda Wagstaff at The WVTF and Radio IQ Studio Gallery.

"Play the Radio" is a site-specific installation that blurs the lines between white-walled art gallery, public radio station, and private living room. The exhibition features ‘thread’ drawings, a ticker tape video poem, and objects from the artist’s home. The artist invites the audience view, sit on, and touch the artwork.

• First Friday Opening: July 3 from 5-7PM
• Gallery Hours: By appointment only. Contact us
• Closing Event: August 26 from 5-6PM
