WHAT WE DO
the full scoop of our programming
CREATIVE YOUTH PROGRAMMING
We partner with local artists to create art programs where Richmond’s young people can explore, express, and connect. From high school experiences in our Atlas gallery in Jackson Ward to middle school and community-based programs, we use art as a tool for self-discovery and building community.
THE EASEL
On the third Thursday of each month (April-September)from 12-2 p.m., The Easel transforms the city block outside our Atlas gallery into a space for art and connection. Watch a featured artist create in real-time while enjoying food from a local truck in our parklet.
EXHIBITIONS
Our Atlas gallery features curated exhibitions throughout the year. From the work of youth in our programs to local and teaching artists, our gallery celebrates Richmond’s creative energy. Join us for opening nights during most First Friday Art Walks.
RESIDENCIES
Our Atlas Artist Residency is a paid summer opportunity for high school artists to refine their skills, work with professional mentors, and focus on their craft. It’s the only program of its kind in the country.
