About us
Mission
The Visual Arts Center of Richmond engages the community in the creative process through the visual arts.
We believe there is a creative spirit in all of us that nourishes our humanity and enriches our society. We foster a creative culture that encourages people of all backgrounds, ages and skill levels to explore, participate and experiment in the visual arts.
Affiliate support for the Visual Arts Center of Richmond is provided by investors in the ArtsFund, grants from the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the Arts and Cultural Funding Consortium and the National Endowment for the Arts.
History
Elisabeth Scott Bocock founded the Hand Workshop in 1963 because she wanted young people to learn to work and create with their hands. Today, the Visual Arts Center remains at the heart of the Richmond arts community.
