A Beautifully Broken Virginia: Art Talk with John Plashal
Thursday, November 17 • 6:30 pm Reception • 7 pm Talk
Experience a unique photographic journey through the beautifully decaying rural places within our state. Photographer John Plashal has commemorated these abandoned gems by capturing their beauty and delivering them in a presentation full of powerful imagery and emotional stories. Experience the unseen side of Virginia through photographs of houses, churches, schools, asylums, diners and secret societies that have been frozen in time.
