The Richmond art scene doesn't end with going to the museum. Many of our REALTORS® love to get in touch with their creative side with hands-on classes offered all over the area. Many arts organizations have a full range of classes for kids and adults.
Inspire Your Heart With Art Day is coming later this month on Friday, January 31. Let's look at some of the best ways you can have fun and unleash your vision with local art classes:
- Visual Arts Center of Richmond – 1812 West Main Street, Richmond, VA 23220
Not too far from great Richmond homes for sale, you'll find Visual Arts Center of Richmond. Founded in 1963, it's dedicated to helping adults and kids alike explore their creativity. About 40,000 people every year visit its array of 1,000 visual and creative arts classes. With more than 100 volunteer art instructors, it has taught on everything from clay to wood to fiber.
- ArtHaus Visual Arts Studio – 1811 Huguenot Road #303, Midlothian, VA 23113

Ceramic wheel throwing is an especially popular course for adults and older teens. Younger students love the drawing and painting classes. Sewing and mixed media are available, too.

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Studio Two Three is known for its unique studio space, creative events, and mobile print truck.

- Hand Thrown Studio – 123 West Brookland Park Boulevard, Richmond, VA, 23222
