We are thinking of our neighbors in SWVA and are grateful for the first responders and organizations that are providing assistance. Virginia's Blue Ridge region (Cities of Roanoke & Salem and Counties of Botetourt, Franklin, & Roanoke) was fortunate to sustain minimal damage from the storm and our local businesses are open and ready to welcome visitors.

Altered art is a form of mixed media that involves taking pre-existing art and transforming it into something new through alternation, manipulation, or decoration. Its purpose is to create something new and unique, as well as to give new life to old or forgotten art. The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, along with artist Diane Relf, are featuring discarded works of art that have been given new life.
If you would like to visit the exhibit, contact Courtney Powell (cbrakes@vt.edu) to make arrangements.
