Collectors' Night 2025
Saturday, April 26, 2025 at 6pm
Collectors' Night is the Visual Arts Center of Richmond's most significant annual fundraising event. The 400-person gala includes a cocktail reception, a silent auction, and a seated live auction. Proceeds from the event support VisArts' mission and community programs. Grow your contemporary art collection, bid on unique experiences, and connect with your local art community at this lively and impactful event.
To many, VisArts is a meaningful place outside of work, home, and school where individuals can find and build community. Since its founding in 1963, VisArts has grown to impact the lives of more than 50,000 people annually---that's one in five Richmonders. With the help and inspiration of over 220 instructors, VisArts offers more than 1,500 visual and creative arts classes across a wide range of media.
The support received at Collectors' Night is critical for VisArts' daily operations. If you can't make it to the event, there are other ways you can participate and support remotely. Please contact Matt Blakley, VisArts' Director of Development for more information: mattblakley@visarts.org
