Brown Family Practice

Instead of just looking at art that others have created, why not express yourself with your own work of art? You can do just that at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond. This organization encourages your creative spirit to surface as it offers you the chance to work with some of the area's most talented artists. People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to come and get in touch with their inner-artist. Several different classes and sessions are offered, so check the website for specific times and dates.

Browns Island was named for Elijah Brown who acquired the land from Rhode Island in 1811. This piece of land is strategically located near downtown and is now part of the James River Park. Live concerts are held there on Fridays during the summer, and the land features footpaths and hiking trails that prove to be popular with nature and outdoors enthusiasts from all over the area. Added attractions include the fast water with large and small rapids and a path that leads down to the river behind a pier that all make for a great opportunity to commune with nature.
