This artistic duo met at Syracuse University and then studied in Rome, Italy, each with a lifelong love of creating works of art. The exhibition will feature their most recent paintings, sculpture, and ceramics. Sharing a home studio in Vero Beach, Florida, or Stonington, Connecticut, Janvier and Gustaf support each other’s efforts through collaboration, critiques, and problem solving and exhibit annually at over 12 locations along the Eastern Seaboard. Curated by Barbara Tiffany, Curator of Exhibitions.

Selected from Vibrant Vision, a 40-year effort of Charleston-based collectors, Jonathan Green and Richard Weedman, this exhibit reflects themes of work, love, belonging and spirituality. With outstanding African American artists such as Clementine Hunter, Elizabeth Catlett, Hale Woodruff, Romare Howard Bearden and more, these works of art range from the late 1930s to the present and represent artists throughout the Caribbean and United States. The influential array of artists offers a deep look into diverse cultural influences that have shaped American art over the past hundred years.

Since 1982, Crealdé has presented an annual exhibition featuring works of art from the 300-plus Summer ArtCamp participants, ages 4 to 17. The exhibition includes collaborative and individual works in painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture and photography. It is curated by Crealdé’s Summer ArtCamp faculty.

The opening reception is from 5-7 p.m. Saturday, August 18.
