Volunteer at Chili Throwdown
From bowl patrol to bartending, VisArts relies on the support of volunteers to make this beloved community fundraiser happen! This year’s VisArts Chili Throwdown is on Friday, October 2.
Volunteer at make space
Make Space pairs 18 sixth-grade girls—all of whom attend Anna Julia Cooper School in the East End of Richmond—with 18 women for a year of mentorship and art-making. VisArts launched the program in the fall of 2008, then called Space of Her Own, and since has impacted the lives of more than 300 women and girls. Make Space is an affiliate member of the Virginia Mentoring Partnership.
