See The Work of 81 Artists at ‘Made in Richmond’
This year we excited to be able to hold out ROS Preview Exhibition,
MADE IN RICHMOND, at the Main Gallery at the Richmond Art Center.
We are grateful to the Richmond Art Center and to Amy Spencer in particular for the opportunity to show the work of so many VAR members with their support and encouragement.
Our preview exhibition is a way to see the breadth of talent our City has to offer and also a way to plan your studio and partner venue visits on 9/6 and 9/7. Please join us during the opening reception on July 2 from 1-3 pm!
For Participating Artists: Getting Ready To Bring In Your Work on 6/20 or 6/21
The exhibition will be in the Richmond Art Center’s Main Gallery between July 9, and Sept 6, 2025
The opening reception will be on July 12 from 1-3 pm
Sept 6 is the last day of the exhibition and the first day of our Richmond Open Studios
Artwork must be delivered to RAC on either Friday June 20 or Saturday June 21 from 10-2 pm. A VAR representative will be there to collect your work and you will sign a RAC loan form at this time. Neither the Richmond Art Center nor VAR can store packaging materials.
Artwork must be picked up from RAC on Monday September 8 or Tuesday September 9 from 10 - 2 pm. If you cannot pick up your work during this time please do not call or email the RAC staff. You’ll need to designate someone else and let us know at contact@visualartistsofrichmond.org
All 2D work needs to be submitted ready to hang, with a wire attached to D rings and your name media etc attached to the back. We strongly encourage you to frame your work or to finish the edges of work on canvas or panels; the Main Gallery is a very large impressive space and we want your work to look as professional as possible. 3D work needs to be securely packaged to avoid damage until it is ready to be positioned on a pedestal.
Not only will the Richmond Art Center’s many visitors see your work, your work can be available for sale. Other than than the low 30% commission the RAC charges for work sold, no additional fees will apply. Please check back often as this page will be updated with new details.
