Collectors' Night 2024
Saturday, May 11, 2024 at 6pm
Collectors' Night, launched in 1987, is the Visual Arts Center of Richmond's most significant annual fundraising event. The 350-person gala includes a cocktail reception, a silent auction and a seated live auction. Proceeds from the event support VisArts' community programs, but altruism isn't the only reason art collectors come back to the event year after year.
The Visual Arts Center of Richmond and its contingent of guest curators work with some of Richmond's most beloved and emerging artists to bring you a lively art auction that is full of fresh pieces to add to your collection.
VisArts was founded in 1963 as the Hand Workshop with the purpose of providing a place for youth to engage in the arts and as a place for artists to learn, create and build community. Each year, VisArts offers more than 1,500 visual and creative arts classes and touches the lives of more than 45,000 people through its exhibitions, community programs, camps, workshops, and special events.
