The Arts Center In Orange is pleased to announce a satellite exhibit of landscape oils on canvas by artist Kevin H. Adams at Virginia National Bank located at 102 East Main Street in Orange. The exhibit will remain in place through Feb. 29. The exhibit is funded in part by The Virginia Commission for the Arts.
Adams was trained at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and at the American Institute in Southern France. He was recognized for his ability as an artist and assigned as a combat artist while serving as an Officer in the United States Marine Corps. He continued using that talent during his tenure at the Washington Opera where he worked as a set painter and props coordinator.
In 1992 and 1994, he was awarded two large commissions with the Department of the Interior painting the backcountry and remote areas of the Grand Canyon National Park, and Glacier National Park for their respective 75th and 85th anniversaries. Adams is actively participating in "The Arts for Embassies Program" by having several of his paintings travel throughout the world being displayed in various U.S. embassies.
Recently, Adams began a new chapter in his life when he opened a bed and breakfast in Washington, VA. The new surroundings in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains away from the hustle and bustle of the city life afford him more time to paint as well as endless visuals to create those paintings.

The Arts Center In Orange is a non-profit (501c3) community arts center offering a gallery, Virginia artists gift shop and classes in art for children and adults. To purchase art work, learn about volunteer opportunities, or for more information visit the Arts Center In Orange at 129 East Main St, P.O.
