In January, we are pleased to present an exhibition of outsider art, featuring work in many media: charcoal drawings, watercolor, acrylic, decoupage, abstract art, oil, and ceramic pieces. These were created by inmates at Dillwyn and Buckingham Correctional Centers for Men, and Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women. The Show contains work from McGuffey Art Center Classes which are offered to inmates through the Programs Department at the Regional Jail. Local artists Rose Hill and Lindsay Michie-Eads have volunteered as the instructors participating in this outreach project to the local inmates. The show features work from Thomas Caudle, Toni Love, Marcus Sandidge, G. Batterby, Izzy Severich, Chuck Montague, G. Barker, Joseph Sigafoo, George Carroll, A. Harper, and William Weller.
