Plein Air day and fundraiser in Don Bright’s amazing daylily field.

Art for the Journey welcomes artists to join us for this fun day in RVA!

Art for the Journey overcomes barriers and transform lives through art. Every day we provide programs that are designed to promote positive mental health and well-being in children and adults through creative expression.

To raise awareness and funds for the programs, our friend and neighbor, Don Bright in North Chesterfield, VA, has invited artists to enter a “secret garden” of thousands of lush and beautiful daylilies and more. For a donation of $25, artists can come and be a part of something that will help hundreds of underserved people in Richmond.

In addition to the plein air painters, photographers, musicians, dancers, writers and artists of all mediums are welcome to find inspiration in the daylilies. Come join us and create!

The event happens in land behind the Food Lion on Lucks Lane in North Chesterfield. Please park in the Food Lion Parking Lot, and look for the Art for the Journey signs. A shuttle will be available to transport you and your easel/equipment for the first hour and at the end of the time for painting 9:00am to noon. (You may be able to stay later to finish, with permission from the property owner Don Bright). Because it is a wild but well kept field, Don recommends boots to prevent critters from interfering with the creative and lovely experience.

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!
