FINE ART SHOPPING

Hosted on the streets immediately surrounding the Museum, this annual event has become one of Southwest Virginia’s most anticipated events, boasting a reputation as a premier destination for fine art shopping.

Chip Freund Photography is excited to be selected to participate in Artsplosure 2024. One of Raleigh’s premiere art festivals. The festival is a two-day event featuring an Art Market of approximately 175 juried visual artists from across the United States showcasing works in ceramics, glass, fiber art, jewelry, metal, painting, photography, wood and more. Browse the eclectic Art Market, watch live music performances on the main stage from emerging national and regional artists, bring the kids to enjoy free arts and crafts at Kidsplosure, and experience one-of-a-kind art installations on display throughout the downtown footprint.

I am honored to have been selected as the May Featured artist at the Woman’s Club of Raleigh. If you are attending an event at TWCR in the month of may make sure to walk through the Juanita Martin Bryant Art Gallery Hall to take in my exhibit, At the Water's Edge and Beyond.

Welcome to The Water’s Edge and Beyond. Humanity has been living at the water’s edge since the beginning.  Water is essential.  Water is life.  I am drawn to that place where the land and water meet, the water’s edge.  Explore the beauty and rhythms in shorelines of sea, sound, lake, and stream through this exhibition.  Images range from stunning colorful sunsets to small intimate landscapes, and abstract patterns and textures created at The Water’s Edge and Beyond.

Chip Freund Photography is proud to have two works selected for the Earth First juried exhibition at the Floyd Center For The Arts. This exhibition aims to explore and celebrate the central theme of Earth stewardship and sustainability.  Discover how artists from across the country explore themes of sustainability, connection with nature, upcycling media, coordination and relationships between species, climate dialogue, and more through various media. Earth First will highlight the delicate balance between human existence and the natural world as seen through environmental consciousness.

My accepted works:

Vanishing Ice

A double exposure created by overlaying an image of the Blue Glacier taken in July 1982 with one taken in July 2022. The substantial loss of glacier ice can be seen with careful inspection. As with so many changes resulting from climate change, the impact can only be seen over the span of time.

“i” is for information

At first glance it's a striking image of a beautiful sunset. But once presented with information, you can drawer your own conclusions as to how beautiful it really is. The red sky and crisp edges to the sunbeam were caused by smoke from the burning of a sugar cane field near Lake Okeechobee, FL.

Chip Freund Photography looks forward to sharing our work with the New Port News arts community. This will be our first time at the Port Warwick Arts & Sculpture Festival.

The location is the Blue Glacier in Olympic National Park in Washington State. I am revisiting the glacier 40 years after I first stepped foot on glacier to recreate a collection of images documenting 40 years of change. For more information, check out this page on my website.

The Town of Cary Arts Center is hosting an exhibition of my project. Please stop by and see the images up close to witness for yourself both the incredible beauty of this land and the tragic loss of I've over the past four decades from our warming planet.

The exhibit includes Descriptive Audio for the visually impaired and is accessible in the gallery on your smartphone by scanning a QR code next to each work in the exhibit. It can also be accessed by clicking here.

The Museum of Life and Science in Durham as a part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) bold campaign to protect 30% of Earth’s land, waters, and oceans by 2030, challenged area artists to harness art’s power to inform, educate and inspire by submitting works to 30×30: Art, Nature, and Science Exhibition. Entries in this juried exhibit convey a love of and concern for the natural world and inspire advocacy for protecting land, air, water, and our rich biodiversity.  The exhibition runs from Saturday, March 25, 2023, through Sunday, July 16, 2023.

I am honored to have my first work Vanishing Ice included in this exhibition. It is the first print from my Blue Glacier Then & Now project.

Artist’s Statement

I spent the summer of 1982 working alongside the Blue Glacier in Olympic National Park as a part of a Student Conservation Association backcountry trail crew. The experience left an indelible mark on my heart, mind, and soul. I had longed to return to that special place before it is changed forever, and the fortieth anniversary of my time on the mountain provided the perfect opportunity. In July 2022 I returned to the glacier to recreate a number of the images I had taken four decades earlier for my project Blue Glacier Then & Now.

Vanishing Ice is a double exposure created by overlaying an image of the terminus of the Blue Glacier taken in July 1982 with one taken from the same location in July 2022. I reduced the opacity of the top image layer so that both images are visible. The substantial loss of glacier ice can be seen with careful inspection. As with so many changes resulting from climate change, the impact of glacier ice loss is hard to see in the short term, but the long-term consequences will be severe.

For over four decades, the Cain Park Arts Festival brings to Northeast Ohio the work of hundreds of artists across the country. FREE admission will be offered for the three-day juried event.

The 2023 Cain Park Arts Festival is in part curated by Northeast Ohio award-winning artist, George Kozmon. His work is represented in prestigious public and private collections including the Cleveland Museum of Art, (Cleveland, OH), the Akron Art Museum (Akron OH), Hyatt Regency (Cologne, Germany), IBM (Armonk, NY), the Butler Institute of American Art (Youngstown, OH), Astor Residence Hotel (London, England), and the Progressive Collection, (Cleveland OH).

Each year the Fine Arts League of Cary holds its annual member show to highlight the best work being done by F.A.L.C. members. This juried exhibition is on display at the Page-Walker Arts & History Center from November 9th through January 3rd. The exhibition is free and open to the public during normal operating hours.

My piece Time Tunnel was accepted for this year’s show. It is a long-exposure black and white photograph of the Tybee Island Pier, in Tybee Island Georgia. With the camera firmly mounted to a tripod the shutter was left open for 4 seconds allowing the motion of the waves to blur the water into a soft almost fog-like texture.

Show Juror: Jean Grunewald. 

Jean is a well known, well respected art judge in the region, she is a founding member of www.PAINTNC.org, a plein air group in Raleigh, NC since 2007 as well as member of PSA, OPA, ISA, AAEA and WPSE 

Jean is mainly a representational or impressionist painter of almost everything. Lately she is obsessed with lost line and a bit more abstraction.
