The Loudoun County Art Advisory Committee will present The Other Side of the Rainbow from January 8, 2024, through February 2, 2024, featuring a solo exhibition by Karen Mahan. The artwork will be displayed in Gallery One, located in the lobby of the Loudoun County Government Center, 1 Harrison Street SE in Leesburg.
Drawing from personal experience, memory, Celtic spirituality and animism, Mahan’s paintings examine the themes of displacement and a search for belonging, exploring new lands that can feel unsettling. The Other Side of the Rainbow features recent paintings on these themes, as well as miniature sculptures developed from objects in the paintings. The artwork is available for public viewing during regular business hours (Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.).
Gallery One exhibits are coordinated by the Loudoun County Art Advisory Committee, which is appointed by the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. The committee is responsible for exhibiting work by Loudoun artists and maintaining and exhibiting the county's permanent art collection.
