TCC Perry Glass Wheel Arts Center’s grand opening set for Sept. 20

The TCC Perry Glass Wheel Arts Center  is featuring two new exhibitions, “The TCC Revolving Art Faculty Exhibition” and “Barbara Kobylinska: Imaginary Creatures,” through December 31.

The artist’s reception and grand opening will be held on Sept. 20 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.

Galleries and events are free and open to the public.

In the first-floor gallery, selected members of TCC’s Visual Arts Center faculty will show their work in a wide variety of styles and approaches. Media include painting, encaustic, sculpture, glass, pottery, drawing, photography, mixed and more. Works will rotate on an ongoing basis.

A display of sculptural work by Virginia Beach’s Barbara Kobylinska is on exhibit in the second-floor gallery. Mixed media animals — a kangaroo, mole, monkey, cheetah, giraffe, fish, bugs and others — are made from found and recycled objects. The colorful and imaginative works portray the artist’s unique and whimsical interpretation of the natural world.

The TCC Perry Glass Wheel Arts Center is located at 128 W. Olney Road in Norfolk.

Gallery hours are Thursday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call Shelley Brooks at 757-822-1878, or visit artsattcc.org.
