WE ARE ART: The Roanoke Self-Portrait Project

EXTENDED THROUGH SEPTEMBER 8!

Visit the Roanoke Municipal Building (215 Church Ave. SW) to see WE ARE ART: The Roanoke Self-Portrait Project, including works by 48 Roanoke artists exploring the impacts of the community on their work and of their work on the community.

Hear from the artists by watching them introduce their work in our RVTV videos. More videos will be added throughout the year!

We opened the show on July 18 with the formal proclamation by City Council of the Year of the Artist. Enjoy pictures below by our friends at RVTV, but to really enjoy the work, you’ve got to come down to the Municipal Building. Take a look around other floors while you’re there. We’ve got 170 works in our public art collection, and there are some fine pieces in the corridors and meeting rooms.
