A nostalgic highlight of the 25th Festival of the Arts venues presented by Southwest Virginia Community College during the month of April is the exhibition of \u201cA Peek at Stardom: Film Memorabilia from the Weisfeld Collection.\u201d The former owner of Abingdon\u2019s Star Museum, Robert Weisfeld, has collected entertainment industry memorabilia for decades. Now he\u2019s pleased to be sharing selected pieces, documenting over a half-century, as part of this year\u2019s Festival of the Arts theme: \u201cSpotlight on the Movies: The Music, the Dance, the Fashion, the Stories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibition will be on display at SWCC in the Ellen Von Dehsen Elmes Gallery in the Charles R. King Community Center from April 1-30. An Opening Reception and commentary offered by Weisfeld on his collection will take place in the gallery on Sunday afternoon, April 7th, beginning at 1:00 p.m. The event is free, open to the public, and will precede another Festival event \u201cFestival Fanfare: Piano x Three\u201d also in the King Community Center, beginning at 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Peak at Stardom encompasses film\u2019s role in social history during the mid-19th century Golden Age of film. The exhibit offers one-of-a-kind apparel or personal artifacts owned or utilized by the famous, including Clint Eastwood\u2019s autographed helmet from Kelly\u2019s Heroes, shoes worn by Betty Grable and Ray Bolger, star life casts made for make-up tests, and many more unique artifacts from film\u2019s glamorous era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere can be no doubt among all art forms of the last century, film was the most significant,\u201d says Weisfeld. \u201cThe Weisfeld Collection celebrates that phenomenon, especially during film\u2019s Golden Age studio system, when the industry was among the greatest business monopolies the world\u2019s ever known.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cClassic Hollywood influences every single art form. Film, and our reliance upon it in all its mutations, has expanded into streaming video. George Clooney\u2019s is today\u2019s conclusion to Cary Grant; Lady Gaga\u2019s the potential Judy Garland of now. And yet for annual output, we\u2019ve never quite surpassed 1939.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The show encompasses film\u2019s role in social history, highlighting stardom, personality, beauty, luck and often, rare talent. Here are stars forgotten or remembered, the least having secured our fleeting attention, the best personifying timeless creative genius, documented in images or on film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just looking back,\u201d Weisfeld points out. \u201cThe exhibition\u2019s a collage expression of our influences, passions, fantasies. Remember that quote from Hamlet: \u2018We know what we are, but not what we may be.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
