Michelle Van Parys (M.F.A. ’87), a graduate of Photography and Film, is a judge in this year’s North Charleston Arts Fest. Van Parys will be judging the Photography Competition & Exhibition.
Prior to getting her degree at VCUarts, she received her B.F.A. from the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. Her photographs have been shown internationally in solo and group exhibitions. A monograph of her photographs entitled The Way Out West: Desert Landscapes was published in 2009 by the Center for American Places at Columbia College Chicago. Van Parys has been the recipient of a Virginia Museum Fellowship and a SC Arts Commission Fellowship. Her work is included in several museum collections such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The High Museum, the Virginia Museum of Fine Art and the Portland Art Museum.
If you’re in the area, entries are accepted on April 27 and 28.
