Current & Upcoming Events
Online Annual Student Exhibition
A beloved tradition at the Frostic School of Art and Richmond Center for Visual Arts, the Annual Student Exhibition features work in a variety of media including painting, printmedia, photography, sculpture, ceramics, metals/jewelry, graphic design, video, performance, installation, intermedia, and product design. This year we received more than three hundred submissions from more than eighty-five students. Juried by South African artist Naomi van Niekerk, the 2020 online edition of our Annual Student Exhibition features nearly 100 works of art from all areas of study.

The RCVA Galleries are closed for the remainder of the semester.
To our Students, Parents, Friends, and Supporters of the Richmond Center,
We look forward to activating our galleries and welcoming you once again when the current Covid-19 situation improves. Currently the Richmond Center is closed and we have cancelled our exhibitions for the spring. We will present our student exhibition online beginning April 17 and will share more details soon. Naomi Van Niekerk’s exhibition Interval will be rescheduled at a later date. Please check back soon to view the full line-up of exhibition for the 2020-21 academic year.
Take good care of yourselves and each other.
