The American Institute of Architects celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. Jim Grigg is the president of the Central Virginian Chapter, and helped organize the exhibit “Hidden in Plain Sight.” The exhibit will celebrate the past 150 years of architecture in Central Virginia by showcasing 150 different buildings. Grigg and Kyle Copas, the curator of the exhibit, speak with Coy Barefoot about it on this segment of Charlottesville–Right Now!
“This is very much about engaging the public discussion about architecture,” Copas says. “We live in a very rich and diverse-built environment, and a lot of times we take it for granted.”
The pair also want public input on what should go into the exhibit. You can email Kyle at kylec[at]ntelos.net. Hidden in Plain Sight will open on Friday, April 6th at the Charlottesville Community Design Center on the downtown mall.
