Visual Art: Andrea Vail, CPCC Visual Arts instructor and Interdisciplinary Artist

Not only is CPCC one of the Carolinas largest community colleges, but the diversity that encompasses each of the six campuses is unmistakable. “Bridging,” Vail’s “collaborative, multi-campus textile work,” serves as an illustration of the community college’s varying demographics. Some of Vail’s other projects include “Signaling Hello,” an initiative that aims to communicate sincere encounters with pedestrians; and “DancePartyPotty,” an installation at the McColl Center in response to the 2017 “HB2” law. Vail received her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University.

And we can’t forget the remarkable 2019 Annual Juried Student Art Show! Juried by professional artist and Northwest School Of The Arts, Byran Wilson. On view through June 3rd in Ross Gallery, Overcash Building, Central Campus!

JOIN US FOR THE SHARED OPENING WITH ANDREA VAIL AND OUR CPCC VISUAL ARTS STUDENTS APRIL 11 AT 7:00 P.M. IN OVERCASH LOBBY.

Sensoria 2019 featured artist Andrea Vail presents Bridging, a collaborative installation featuring you!

We are excited to announce Andrea Vail as our 2019 Sensoria Featured Artist! Her project titled Bridging is a large scale fabric based installation created in collaboration with the community that surrounds CPCC. Vail will source imagery from photos posted to the Instagram hashtag #cpbridging, and we want your images to be included!

Follow these instructions to be a collaborator for the Bridging project and have your image included in the final piece:

  1. Locate something with a pattern that represents you or create your own. This can be anything that relates to culture or identity ( a tattoo, a grandparent’s quilt pattern, a cultural or religious artifact). The more visual contrast, the better – look at the pattern and squint your eyes, if it blends together, its best to find something else.
  2. Take a close-up picture of it – make sure that the image is crisp and vibrant.
  3. Post the picture to Instagram and use the hashtag #cpbridging

Images that do not meet the following requests will be deleted:

  • Please do not post images of copyrighted logos or anything that can be deemed offensive or illegal.
  • make sure the image is crisp and well lit – – dark and blurry images will not be printed.

For examples of what to post, click through the hashtag to see what others have posted!
