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.

In conjunction with our upcoming gallery exhibition, From Sand: Works in Glass by Ken Daley, Richard Jolley and Joyce J. Scott, Visual Arts Center will be offering a number of exciting related classes, studio demonstrations, artists’ talks, and a film series from January through March, in celebration of the art of glass. See our exhibition programming for class offerings, a calendar of events, and more information.
From Sand: Works in Glass by Ken Daley, Richard Jolley and Joyce J. Scott opens to the public with a reception on Friday, January 16, 7-9pm.

Starting out the new year, we’ve got an exciting new line-up of Art & Coffee programs planned. With coffee provided by neighboring Rostov’s Coffee and biscotti by Biscotti Goddess, participants can settle in for an energizing hour learning something new about art. The free program is held on second and fourth Tuesdays each month from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m at Visual Arts Center. Join us this month:
Tuesday, January 13: “Make a Glass Beaded Tassel Embellishment” with artist Ingrid Bernhardt
