Community Partnerships
The act of making art can improve people’s lives. There are physical and mental health benefits, not to mention social and cultural benefits. At the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, we’re always looking for new partnerships that improve the lives of people in our community. These programs are funded by grants and individual gifts and offered at no cost to participants.
