Join us for Community Day as we open our doors and welcome the community into our new home! 🎉

This Museum-wide celebration invites visitors of all ages to experience our inaugural exhibitions, Nina Chanel Abney: The Pursuit of Happiness and Seamless: Art and Design, while exploring the Museum’s new spaces and gathering places.

Spend the day discovering the galleries and enjoying hands-on art-making, live performances, artist demonstrations, community resources, and local food vendors.

The first 200 guests to arrive will receive a food voucher to be used toward food truck purchases. We are also offering a limited number of Uber Ride vouchers worth up to $30 to get you to and from the event. Claim your ride voucher at the link in bio!

Community Day is proudly presented in partnership with Virginia Humanities and sponsored by Dominion Energy, Cox, and Wegmans. We thank them for their generous support.
