ARTIST TALK WITH ALEYAH GRIMES

Saturday, February 17
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Join Aleyah Grimes at Arts on Main on Saturday, February 17th from 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm for an artist talk!
Aleyah is one of the artists featured in Arts on Main’s February 2024 Group Exhibition.

Aleyah Grimes is a multimedia artist based in Richmond, Virginia with a BFA in Painting and Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University. Working primarily with paint and fiber, she creates expressive and tactile works centered around vulnerability, growth, and stillness while simultaneously reflecting these themes in nature, the universe, and the unknown. She aims to build a body of work where the subjects are becoming one with their surroundings, emphasizing this through body language and materials, while still portraying a range of human emotions and states of being. She has also shown her work at several institutions including VMFA’s studio school, the Visual Art Center of Richmond, Main Street Station, and Southside Contemporary Art Gallery.

This event is free and open to the public!
