Description:
The Virginia Tech Perspective Gallery, located in the Squires Student Center, presents the Opening Reception for "Where Are We?" on Friday, March 25, 2022.

Michael Summa’s interest in collecting decommissioned road signs became a passion that later turned into an artistic outlet. Summa’s love of road signs began when, as young child he underwent painful surgeries for a disability requiring a road trip to an out of state hospital. Despite his parents’ worries about the upcoming surgery, Summa recalls looking forward to the drive because of the varied shapes and colors of signage along the route. Exhibited in this show are some of Summa’s sign collection as well as replicas he has made which highlight his phenomenal free hand cutting and lettering skills.

Featured along with Michael Summa’s signs are the model airplanes of Harry Moore. Moore is a longtime resident of Blacksburg and an armed services veteran. After careful research into the aircraft he wants to create, Moore uses recycled material to make scaled replicas of military jets and rocket ships. Harry Moore is especially interested in helping the community heal through art making.

Admission is free and open to the public.

Light refreshments will be provided during the event.

The exhibit will be on display from March 22nd through May 14th.

Gallery hours are Monday from 6:00-9:00 PM, Tuesday-Saturday from 12:00-9:00 PM and Sunday from 1:00-5:00 PM.

Perspective Gallery is located in the second floor gallery in Virginia Tech’s Squires Student Center at 290 College Avenue in Blacksburg, VA.
