Liquid Commonwealth: The Art and Life of Water in Virginia

This exhibition explores the essential importance, richness, and beauty of water as a defining element of Virginia for all its residents. Liquid Commonwealth takes a different approach by making the state of Virginia — and Virginia artists — its theme. The exhibition was founded on a call for artworks around the idea of Virginia as a place shaped by its various liquid environments: the Atlantic Ocean, the Chesapeake Bay, rivers, lakes, human-made reservoirs and other aqueous systems that sustain life here.
