Fifteen Italian exchange students from Carlisle School also attended ZipZapZop’s performance and then toured the galleries, where they explored the exhibits: Fortune, Courage, Love: Arts of Africa’s Akan and Kuba Kingdoms from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; Kind Cuts, featuring woodcuts by Richmond-based artist Dennis Winston; and Current Brushstrokes, featuring paintings by Patrick County native Pepper Martin.
