In May 2025, New City Arts will present an exhibition of work by Vibha Vijay.
“Join,” Vijay invites us, “as knit fibers provide opportunities to alter and create space.”
Vibha Vijay (she/they) is an artist based in Charlottesville, VA and a recent graduate of UVA with a degree in Studio Art and a minor in Data Science. Her work centers around the tension between desire and physical materiality, whether the medium be fiber or plastic or hair. Vijay seeks to critique and explore the boundaries of access and the formality of art objects because of their own fascination with collecting and display. Her work moves towards giving objects their own life beyond her personal reach, and exploring her cultural heritage through the lens of audience interaction.
Located at 114 3rd St. NE on Charlottesville’s downtown pedestrian mall, New City Arts’ Welcome Gallery supports artists who live in the Charlottesville area. Welcome Gallery exhibitions and programs are made possible by generous sponsors, donors, and grants. Interested in sponsoring an exhibition? Connect with us!
