Opening FRIDAY, yes tomorrow!! We are so thrilled to open our exhibit, The ART of INCLUSION, a amazing art show highlighting local artists with disabilities and also those from the LGBTQIA+ community!

This exhibition is designed to uplift voices that have historically been overlooked in traditional gallery spaces. By centering artists with disabilities and LGBTQIA+ creators, the exhibition celebrates the vibrant diversity that shapes Greensboro’s cultural identity and encourages meaningful community engagement through the arts.

Artists and community members alike are invited to join in this celebration of creativity, accessibility, and belonging.

This week’s Volunteer Spotlight shines on an individual whose strength, reliability, and willingness to help make a tremendous impact at CVA. Since Jackson Cashwell began volunteering with us, he has become a reliable member of our install team and someone always ready to assist us in our hardest work.
Jackson is always ready to jump in wherever he’s needed. Whether helping our team install exhibitions, carefully handling artwork, or tackling the physically demanding tasks that keep our gallery running smoothly, he approaches every challenge with a positive attitude and steady determination. His dependability and hard work behind the scenes help make so much of what we do possible.
Jackson Cashwell is an invaluable part of the CVA community, and we are incredibly grateful for the time, effort, and support he continues to give our gallery. His dedication helps us create welcoming spaces where art and community can thrive.

cashwell thank you!

And that’s a wrap on our 2025-2026 Art In The Afternoon ART Exhibit from our amazing students! Every afternoon, these kiddos come to create, play, and enjoy an afternoon of creativity and fun after school. Our AITA instructors, Micah, Jesse, and Joe are committed to guiding these creative students in various projects throughout the year introducing them to more than their day at school can provide! If your child thrives in the arts, we would love to talk with you about how your student could join us for afterschool programming.

We are currently enrolling for AITA, and we still have a few spots left in our SUMMER CAMP schedule!

CVA Is the place to be for any kid craving more ART!

Meet Joe Bodsford

This week’s Volunteer Spotlight shines on someone who has given CVA not only his time and effort, but also his creativity, spirit, and expertise. Since Joe began volunteering with us a few years ago, he has become a true staple of our operations, whether teaching in our classrooms upstairs or lending a helping hand in the gallery he loves.

Joe plays a role in nearly everything we do here at CVA. He’s a spirited educator, a diligent professional when it comes to installing artwork both inside and outside the gallery, and a constant positive presence within our community. We can always rely on Joe for some of our most challenging projects, and we couldn’t be more grateful for all that he brings to our organization.

Joe Bodsford is a vital part of CVA, and we are incredibly thankful for the time, care, and dedication he gives to our gallery and our mission of bringing art and community together.

Thank you Joe!
