WHAT WE DO
the full scoop of our happenings
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.
YOUTH ART PROGRAMMING
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.
THE EASEL
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.
EXHIBITIONS
Led by artist-practitioners Jacob (AKA Infinite Peace) Fonseca and Yoko Nishizawa, Soluna offers donation-based yoga sessions for all levels. Classes are held in our Atlas gallery three times a week: Mondays at 7:30 a.m., Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m., and Fridays at 12 p.m.
