Our Three Partner Venues

The Visual Artists of Richmond is grateful to the Richmond Art Center, the NIAD Art Center, and the Richmond Museum of History and Culture for supporting VAR’s vision of an independent, artist-organized open studios in Richmond.
This year we are excited to share that two of our partner venues are filled to capacity with Richmond artists eager to show you their work, and NIAD Art Center will be showcasing 5 of their own artists. So, if you don’t have time to go to individual studios, visiting a couple of partner venues is an option.
