Call to artists info. Past exhibits. Since 2006 WMRA has hosted art exhibits at the Harrisonburg facility. The broadcast media almost never mention visual artists, but WMRA has long supported quality regional art-makers. Artists are mentioned on-air occasionally during the run of the exhibit and also might appear on our news/interview shows (like The Spark).

Deadpan Alley (Art Show)

If one passes by 5000 scenes in a typical commute, maybe one might be "funny" somehow --and photographer Jeff James will notice. Humor and a sort of pop art irony and social critique appear. Now hanging and up until Thurs 30 May 2013, a collection of his art photos / visual jokes will hang at PublicRadioArtSpace in WMRA's Harrisonburg facility. Art peekers welcome weekdays 9-5.
