Artists
Craft + Design 2020 Update: With the health and safety of artists, volunteers, staff and attendees in mind, the events team at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond has decided to postpone Craft + Design until June 4-6, 2021 at Main Street Station due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
What this means for artists: The application deadline for artists has been extended to August 31, 2020. Artists can apply online through Juried Art Services. The Craft + Design jury will evaluate applications in September and notify selected artists by September 30.
Craft + Design Online (November 20-29, 2020): In addition to the in-person event planned for June 2021, VisArts will host a virtual art event from November 20-29, 2020. Craft + Design Online will give shoppers the opportunity to browse and buy the work of artists who have been selected by the jury to show their work at Craft + Design in June 2021. All artists juried into the in-person show will be invited to participate in the online event.
