“The Gift of Trees” Exhibition
Over the course of history, the depiction of trees has been a recurring theme in art, transcending the boundaries of time and evolving through various artistic techniques. Despite the diverse approaches employed by artists over the centuries, the allure of the tree as a subject endures. Let’s explore the profound fascination that people have with this natural wonder.

“Ode to Richmond” Exhibition
This unique show draws inspiration from the eloquent poem “Ode to Richmond” penned by Roscoe Burnem, RVA’s esteemed First Poet Laureate of 2021. We eagerly anticipate the diverse and creative expressions that will emerge as artists explore and interpret the essence of Richmond through their artistic lenses.
