"Full Circle" Kicks off 2025 Exhibits at Falls Church Arts on January 11

The forty-five piece exhibit will open on January 11, with a meet-the-artists reception from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. The Juror’s Choice Award will be announced during the program. The event is free and open to the public. Sharon Malley, juror for the show is an Arlington, Virginia-based artist at the Columbia Pike Artist Studios. Her work is on display in juried shows in the greater DC metropolitan area and the mid-Atlantic states. Sharon’s professional career focuses on arts and disabilities. She served as a national leader in arts education and special education at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Sharon commented on the jurying process. “Jurying the Full Circle show for Falls Church Arts was a delight. The entries included a rich variety of media, both two and three dimensions, from oil, watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media paintings to digital and traditional photography, glass, and metal sculptures. An unusual number of works were excellently crafted in black and white or neutral colors, which I found appealing. In many cases, responses to the circle theme depicted the concept or visual representation of circles in graphic images, using clean lines, which makes sense, as circles symbolically evoke a perception of completeness. Hence, there is a cohesiveness in the overall selection of work that I hope will delight gallery visitors.” Full Circle will be on view at the Falls Church Arts gallery at 700-B West Broad St. (Route 7), Falls Church. Admission is free and the gallery is open Tuesdays-Fridays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays-Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Masks are optional and guests are asked to postpone their visit if they are not well. Artworks can also be viewed online at https://www.fallschurcharts.org. All pieces can be purchased at the gallery or on the website. Highlights of this exhibit include the Juror's Choice Award and People's Choice Award. To vote for the People's Choice Award, please visit the gallery before February 7 to cast your ballot.
