April 2023 First Friday: “Beginninglessness Endlessness” by John Latell

Friday, April 7

6:00pm – 8:00pm

Sponsored by Martin, Ingles & Hensley

During the month of April, Arts on Main will host a solo show featuring the work of John Latell. The show will open on Friday, April 7th at our First Friday event and will run through April 29th. John Latell graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University as a sculpture student. Latell’s work with metal is a blend of variable nature, the creative impulse, and effort. Metal, as a structural material, is a full three-dimensional pallet for sculpture. He worked in Pittsburgh for more than ten years, building large-scale sculptures in steel mills, public spaces, and galleries. Since then he has owned and operated a metal art studio for more than a decade in rural Virginia. The work he does is reflected in the patterns of the land and humanity’s efforts to harness them.

Live music will be provided by Louis Vangieri.

Hailing from Williamsburg, Louis C Vangieri has over a decade of experience playing out Virginians’ stresses, easing his listeners into a state of existential acoustic bliss with his instrumental folk renditions and original songs.
