The last installation of work, called A Stilled Life, ran from Jan-June of 2022. This exhibit was comprised of the work of 18 different artists’ works that centered around the following concept, “as the title suggests, the theme refers to a captured, motionless moment. This could be interpreted through the traditional art genre known as “still life” (which usually refers to an artists’ arrangement of inanimate, everyday objects, i.e. flowers, fruit, etc.), or can be further realized as a frozen “snapshot” of everyday life. Due to this more open interpretation, entries could have figures, landscapes or other figurative elements.

The inaugural exhibit, which was entitled Into the Blue: Abstraction in the Airport, featured 10 artists’ works, created explicitly for this show. Each of the artists was chosen for their ability to work in abstraction, and the works were created with the title prompt of “into the blue,” denoting the singular “rule” of using the color blue somewhere in the piece. (The pieces could also be inspired by something relating to corresponding concepts surrounding “flight,” “sky,” etc. but this was not required). The following artists were represented in this exhibit (click on their names to be transported to their websites/social): Mark Bradley-Shoup, Jan Burleson, Amber Droste, Sue Fox, Ellen Franklin, Myles Freeman, Linda Kerlin, Carrie Pendergrass, Rylan Thompson, & Heath Montgomery Some of the works from the show are still available for purchase through CHA ART SPACE.
