New location: 1914 W. Main St., Richmond, VA
All proceeds from Collectors' Night will benefit VisArts' art-making, exhibitions, and community programs.
VisArts has been a staple of the local arts community since 1963. Over the decades, we've shape-shifted, adapted and grown together; today, we are proud to touch the lives of 50,000 Richmonders each year.
As you may know, VisArts recently acquired a new property, just a block down from our home on Main Street. By expanding our urban campus, we can better meet the ever-growing demand from our community members to improve access to our programs, regardless of background, age or skill level--truly working to make art for all.
Your support at Collectors' Night and beyond is critcal for VisArts' present and future operations. If you can't make it to the event, we hope you will consider making a gift today at visarts.org/gift.
