“ Nature Revealed: Works by Frederick Nichols and Jan Knipe, October 19

th 2013 - January 12

th 2014

Free Admission to PFAC Members, $10.00 for Non-Members

"Nature Revealed" features views on nature in two solo shows by Virginia artists. Frederick Nichols creates large-scale paintings and

silkscreen prints of the Virginia countryside surrounding his Barboursville home. His works are based on photographs projected on

canvas, allowing him to capture "a place, one moment in time, one season at a time." With his wife, Beth, Nichols owns the Nichols

Gallery Annex in Barboursville. His work has been exhibited locally and internationally.

Radford resident Jan Knipe is particularly interested in observing development, unvarnished landscapes and chasing what light

reveals in particular locations and times of day. Her work is not new to PFAC; she received first place in drawing in the 1996 and

1996 PFAC juried exhibitions.

You can help the Arts in Virginia—Here’s how!!

Virginians now have the opportunity to contribute part of

their state income tax refund to the Virginia Arts Foundation by checking a box on their return form. It’s never been so simple to support the arts in Virginia.

Because the foundation may receive but not solicit private funds, money will have to come from the purchase of arts license plate and other special sources, such as this tax check off box.

The interest on all funds received will be distributed in grants by the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Please help support the arts in Virginia. Check off a contribution for the Virginia Arts Foundation on your state income return. It’s one of the most important checks you can write – and now, it’s one of the easiest.
