Sarah Joncas's piece for Virginia MOCA's "I Like Soup" Fundraiser!

You might recall us announcing the Virginia MOCA organized charity fundraiser "I Like Soup," which is timed to coincide with the locale's upcoming "Andy Warhol: Portraits" retrospective and "Fifteen Square Inches Of Fame" group show. Above is the beautifully painted, untitled contribution by Sarah Joncas to the fundraiser event. If you ever seen a picture of the lovely Joncas, then you might agree with me that this appears to be a self-portrait… maybe taking the name of the show, "I Like Soup," to a wonderfully literal level. Given the line-up of talent, even this odd 'canvas' is sure to shine.

"I Like Soup" opens on May 26th and runs through August 19th at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (VMOCA), 2200 Parks Ave., Virginia Beach, VA 23451. Participating artists include: Lauren Alpert, Glen Arthur, Rashidi Barret, Monée Bengtson, Eric Thomas Bostrom, Heather Bryant, Diana Caramat, Amy Chan, Kris Chau, Nomi Chi, Luke Chueh, Doug Clarke, Bob Dob, Dominique Fung, Susie Gharemani, Christine K. Harris, Meg Hunt, Charlie Immer, Sylvia Ji, Joka, Sarah Joncas, Erik Jones, Ewelina Koszykowska, Kozy n Dan, Elizabeth Levesque, Jason (Stunkid) Levesque, Jason Limon, Jim Mahfood, Apricot Mantle, Dan May, Soey Milk, Dave (davmo) Morris, Buddy Nestor, Tran Nguyen, Raymond Nordwall, Charmaine Olivia, Amanda Outcalt, Conrad Roset, Alan Skees, Kristen Skees, Sayaka Suzuki, Eveline Traunadjaja, Betsy Walton, Casey Weldon, Genevive Zacconi, Chet Zar, and Crissie Zullo.
