#ArtoberVA2019 is here!

Ready Richmond?….#Artober is here!

ArtoberVA2019 is a monthlong celebration presented by CultureWorks, and your chance to discover our community’s rich artistic and cultural life!

Art for the Journey is honored to be a part of Richmond’s exciting, cultural life, and to bring art to oftentimes forgotten members of our community, such as incarcerated women, people with dementia and Alzheimers, U.S.Veterans suffering combat related PTSD, and school children in underserved and low income areas around the city, and more.

Many art organizations have come together to provide an amazing exhibit.

CultureWorks is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which is driving a vibrant community by inspiring, enabling and cultivating world-class arts and culture.

CultureWorks provides support for Art for the Journey by providing grant funding towards operational support enabling our staff and volunteers to promote positive mental health and well-being through creative expression in underserved communities throughout RVA. We are so grateful for this support and super proud to be an ArtoberVA2019 Champion!

The Art for the Journey Art Exhibit GALA is a featured event on the CultureWorks calendar because area Artists from many art organizations have come together to provide an amazing exhibit. Net proceeds from the sale of Art benefit Art for the Journey programs. The event is absolutely lovely, held at the University of Richmond Jepson Alumni Center, with music, delicious wine and refreshments, and a broad display of juried art. Don’t miss it!

Join Art for the Journey for a night of art, food, drink, and pickleball! This "Mash-up" of ART and PICKLEBALL is a fun way to share the mission of Art for the Journey to transform lives through art and community!

This year, we have a super fun evening planned. There will be lots of art donated by local area artists, pickleball demos, pickleball courts for play, and lots of delicious food from the Sharper Palette, Belle Isle cocktails, a delicious assortment of fine wine, and a wonderful silent auction. You can play or you can simply watch and mingle! You can definitely see and bid on art, and enjoy the new and different ambience! Also, if you can not attend, you can register to bid on art during the silent auction right from home. We do hope to see you there!!!

Help Art for the Journey by attending the event, and you will make a difference in the lives of people ages five to 105! Art for the Journey seeks to deliver and promote positive mental health and well-being for those who have least access. This fun event will also help others!
