Introducing artoberVA Storytelling!

This year, we want to know all about your arts and culture experiences. How does having arts and culture in your life make you feel? Where do you get your inspiration from? What is the best moment you have when creating art or experiencing culture? 

We invite you to answer these questions in any way you want to express them. This could be a short video, poem, essay, painting, or song! Click HERE to share your story and keep a look out on social media as we will be posting your stories throughout artoberVA. For non-written entries, please email your video or audio file to Francesca@richmondcultureworks.org.

Check out this video from our Tri-Cities Program Manager, Daniel Jones, sharing a video about what arts and culture means to him: 

We hope to see your beautiful stories soon! If you have any questions or concerns, please email Francesca@richmondcultureworks.org.
