August 2026 4th Friday Reception

Join us on August 28, 2026, from 6–8 p.m. for the exciting opening reception of our new exhibits at Art Works. Meet the talented artists, enjoy live music, refreshments, and libations sponsored by RVA Thriving Artists, and celebrate another vibrant season of creativity and community.

Each August, Art Works partners with a local organization to raise funds and awareness. This year, we’re proud to support [XXXXXX].  The community has generously donated items for a silent auction, and Art Works will contribute all sales from the Queer by Nature show to [XXXXXX].

Additional exhibits include new works by Martin Neal Reamy, a collaboration between Richard Harding and Ginny Loving, and the juried August All Media Show featuring regional artists. 

This event is free and open to the public, with convenient, free parking available. Exhibits will remain on view through September 19, 2026.
