Spring 2021 Exhibit Season

From January - June 2021, six New City Arts Fellows are transforming Welcome Gallery into their studio space. Some Fellows choose to invite the public to engage with their work through a 1-week exhibition at the end of their time at Welcome Gallery. The call for proposals for this Fellowship was open to Charlottesville-area artists, and these 6 artists were chosen by a selection committee (Maurice Wallace, Sarah Boyts Yoder, Horace Ballard) following a competitive application process.
