Signature events
Each year, the Visual Arts Center of Richmond hosts three signature fundraisers: Collectors’ Night in the spring, Chili Throwdown in the early fall, and Craft + Design ushering in the holiday season. These events are an essential part of VisArts’ livelihood and help the nonprofit sustain our art-making, exhibitions, and programs year-round.
