Many people remember Yoko Ono for her connection to the Beatles.  But a Virginia Tech Professor says she’s always been a major contemporary artist in her own right, whose groundbreaking work is still relevant today. 

Two Exhibitions on Ono’s long career open next week at the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke and the Armory Gallery at Virginia Tech. 

It may not be easy to get friends to help you move, but hundreds of people showed up  in the summer heat to do just that. 

Residents of Crozet, Virginia – Charlottesville’s fastest growing suburb – stood in line to help the community’s tiny public library move to its new home.

The excitement was audible as books began to move from Crozet’s original library – which once served as a train station – to a new, much bigger building nearby.

The National Gallery of Art is running an exhibit connected with the anniversary of the March on Washington.

When you walk into The Tower of the National Gallery you're confronted with two of Americas most lauded presidents overseeing their sprawling Virginia plantations...dotted with little black specks. Those indistinguishable dots mark the hundreds of slaves George Washington and Thomas Jefferson "owned."
