"Sodom Laurel Album" a major
photographic exhibition from the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke
University, is the result of a twenty year photographic project/field study
by documentary photographer Rob Amberg. The exhibition and the
accompanying book and CD comprise a chronicle of the two decades in which
Amberg became part of the rural North Carolina community known colloquially
as Sodom Laurel, located in the mountains not far from Asheville, N.C.
To expand the exhibition, art6
will present a lecture by Rob Amberg and a book signing on Sunday afternoon,
May 9th at 4 pm. The photographer will also be present at the opening
of the exhibition, Friday, May 7th from 7 - 10 pm during the First Fridays
Art Walk.

Level 4
The ten
up and coming artists featured in “Level 4” are all students in
Henrico County’s Center for the Arts program at Henrico High school.
However, don’t expect typical student fare from these young men and
women. Their work ranges from installation, to painting, to
photography. The professional quality and technical proficiency of
their work defies their age. Most of the students have been enrolled
in the Center for the Arts all of their four years in high school.
This show is a climax of their young careers and is not to be missed.
This is your chance to see top talent before they make it big!
