January Community Meetings a Success!

Many thanks to the over 200 people that ventured out on January 12 and 13 to attend the recent Community Meetings about the Cultural Action Plan!

People from across the region took part in the vibrant and open discussions that were held in Chesterfield, Hanover, Henrico, and the City of Richmond. We had artists (writers, musicians, painters, graphic artists, photographers, and more), teachers, arts professionals, bloggers, funders, government representatives, historic preservationists, tourism reps, board members from cultural organizations, and so many more. Most importantly, we had folks who want to see Richmond flourish as a cultural destination with a well supported cultural community. We just love you! We can't do this work without the help of the greater community. We also want to thank the county and city officials who helped coordinate these important events and the wonderful venues which served as host - Glen Allen Cultural Arts Center, Cultural Center of India, Pine Camp Arts Center, and Hanover School Board.


We look forward to having even more people come out on Monday, February 9 to the Visual Arts Center of Richmond for the next round of meetings. Bring your ideas, roll up your sleeves, and take part in this historic effort to make the Richmond Region a vibrant and creative community!
