Hallway Galleries

CCV Burlington Offers Space to Local Artists

Mission:
CCV Burlington invites artists to exhibit their work in CCV's Hallway Galleries. The galleries are located in the main hallway in the Pearl Street building, the atrium space in the Cherry Street lower level, and the 3rd floor of the Cherry Street building. We are currently accepting submissions for art and craft exhibits.

These hallway galleries are designed to act as an academic forum for the display of new ideas. Their ultimate purpose is to expose CCV students and the Burlington community to contemporary artists, their art, and processes. Artists will display their work for a semester and may be invited to give a community slide lecture demonstrating their artistic process, emphasizing the use of materials, fundamentals of design, and importance of the foundations to developing artists.

Lower Level Gallery

Isaac Wasuck

Now in the Lower Level Cherry Street Hallway Gallery Isaac was born in St. Albans, Vermont. Following high school, he ventured west, as many before, and tried to discover what should be done in life. After working a 9 to 5 job and working on sheep farms in New Zealand, came back to the states and moved to Philadelphia. He attended the university of the arts and received, four years later in 1999, a BFA degree. Since graduation, has moved many more times to various places around the east coast before settling down in Burlington. In this little spot in the world he tries to focus intently on painting, photography, and whatever other art falls in his path, and establishing himself as a contender in the 'art world'.

For Isaac, creating art is a constant failing attempt to escape meaning. His catalog tells a long, drawn out, unintended and detailed story of his life as a fugitive from substance. Artist’s intent is always implied and overcoming the paradox of his 'this means nothing' theme is an impossible trap. His work is a document of trying to overcome the impossible.

Other Artistic News

The Burlington Hallway Galleries is now listed in the hottest new locally based art zine around, The Art Map Burlington (distributed by Kasini House)! We continue to enjoy the fact that local galleries and museums are part of a map that is printed and distributed throughout Burlington each month. Pearl Street and Cherry Street are listed on the map, and we know this has encouraged more foot traffic through our galleries. Due to the hours the Burlington site is normally opened, the Pearl Street Gallery and the two Cherry Street Galleries have different viewing hours. Please check the Art Map for gallery hours.
