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.

The installation of the Senior Thesis Exhibition is complete!

The Visual and Performing Arts Academy had a wonderful Annual Juried Art Show last night!

The talent that comes from these young artists is absolutely amazing!

A special thanks to Gretchen Boals, President of the Chesapeake Bay Art Association. She had the immensely hard task of sorting through over 175 art pieces, reading their artist statement and narrowing down selections to be presented at the show.

We also would like to give a shout out to VWU for hosting us in the Neil Britton Art Gallery!

Tomorrow night!
