The Visual Arts Center of Richmond engages the community in the creative process through the visual arts. Use our site to discover the adult art classes, youth art classes, events and art exhibitions through which you can explore your creative spirit.
Opening June 25, this annual display of work by the Center’s talented array of teachers offers the community an opportunity to get to know the individual artists who make the Center a dynamic place. The show, entitled [work], also include entries submitted by several staff and board members who work as artists in addition to their professional roles. There are 27 three-dimensional pieces (ceramics, sculpture, jewelry) and 39 two-dimensional works.
[work] remains on view through August 1, 2010. Support for the exhibition is provided in part by Altria Group.

In Creativity at Work, artists and participants come together in three intensive one-day sessions, spread out over a three-month period (September -November 2010) to give participants time to absorb and put to use the concepts and insights learned. Demonstrations, discussions and hands-on creative workshops, including small and large group exercises and activities, explore three primary themes: Igniting the Creative Spark, Seeing with Unique Vision, and The Intersection of Collaboration and Innovation.
