NEW EXHIB-<br />
IT AT<br />
OLIVE<br />
STREET<br />
GALLERY<br />
The Newport Visual Arts Center announces the<br />
opening of a new exhibit, “Educate the Girls of the<br />
World,” featuring paintings by award-winning artist<br />
Margaret Godfrey. The exhibit opens today (Friday)<br />
and will be on display through June 24 in the<br />
Olive Street Gallery — a satellite exhibition space<br />
located inside Newport Performing Arts Center. A<br />
reception and artist talk will be held on June 7.<br />
In what Godfrey describes as a “series of hope,”<br />
paintings are inspired by a global issue — barriers<br />
and lack of access to education among young<br />
women and girls. Each piece incorporates fabric,<br />
patterns, architecture, landscapes or cultural<br />
symbols representing countries, cultures and<br />
diverse communities with low schooling among<br />
females. Outstretched hands call to mind children<br />
in a classroom, ready to learn. They reach for the<br />
infinity symbol, representing an inner craving for<br />
unlimited knowledge.<br />
“We are excited to present Margaret Godfrey’s<br />
powerful and inspiring work on the issue of girls’<br />
education,” said Chasse Davidson, VAC director.<br />
“Her paintings shine a light on inequity, but they<br />
are also, ultimately, uplifting. Each is a call to action,<br />
urging us to consider how we can play a part in<br />
ensuring women worldwide have the opportunity<br />
to reach their full potential.”<br />
