Nov 2024: Dotti Stone and Barry Koplen: Seldom Paired Exhibit at Academy Center of the Arts, 600 Main St, Lynchburg, VA

Sep/Oct 2023: Dotti Stone did an artist residency in Danville, VA at VANGUARD Art Flats on Craghead St. Dotti Stone, a Bedford artist and member of Blue Ridge Mosaic Artists, was an artist-in-residence at VANTAGE Art Flats in Danville, Virginia, from September to October 2023. During her residency, Stone worked on a project called the Danville Globe, a colorful globe showcasing nearly 25 iconic Danville landmarks. Stone spent approximately 1,200 hours on the project, which she completed after her residency at VANTAGE Art Flats. The globe will be displayed at various locations throughout Danville over the next year.” Read more about VANTAGE Art Flats

May/June 2023: Dotti Stone and Barry Koplen: Seldom Paired Exhibit at MacCallum More Museum & Gardens, Chase City, VA. Barry is a photographer and poet from Danville, VA whose photography primarily shows men at work. Dotti spent some time in New Orleans, and has developed a series of mosaic “cameos” that tell the story of the devastation of Katrina and the heroics of some of its citizens. They are thought provoking and beautifully done. The mosaic of Mr. Bojangles is not to be missed: it is a tribute to the love and perseverance so many have for their homes and their city of New Orleans. Dotti and Barry have collaborated on two books, showing their work and poetry, which will be for sale at the reception. We are pleased to welcome Barry and Dotti to the MacCallum More Museum for this exciting and thought-provoking exhibition.

Spring 2023: Members Perri Mason and Dotti Stone had mosaics accepted into the Roanoke College Olin Galleries Biennial Juried Exhibit.
