A New Creative Hub in Downtown Alexandria

The Visual Arts Center will provide a dedicated space for exhibitions, meetings, and workshops, allowing us to engage with the public in new and meaningful ways. Its large street-level window and inviting Broadway entrance make it easy for visitors to discover local artists and enjoy the energy of Alexandria’s retail district.

Though the space is technically a basement level, it features extra-wide stairs for easy access, and we are actively raising funds and pursuing necessary permissions to install a lift, ensuring accessibility for all.

A Community Effort

This project is powered by the enthusiasm and generosity of our members and volunteers. Several have started to clean, paint, and prepare the space for opening to the public in November. A dedicated Exhibitions Committee is already at work planning a full calendar of shows, events, and workshops for the coming year — creating opportunities for artists to share their work and for the public to experience the richness of visual arts in our region.

Our First Exhibit: Holiday Art Sale

Our inaugural event in the new space will be a Holiday Sale, running November 20 through December 22. We are still getting the word out about all the exciting developments, so if you are an artist, there’s still time to apply!

Watch for more details as the date approaches — and if you’re not a member yet, maybe now might be a great time to subscribe to our digital newsletter to stay informed about upcoming exhibits, calls for artists, and special events.
