Framer's Workshop

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.

The Virginia Holocaust Museum does an impressive job of presenting one of the most harrowing events in our history. It dramatically documents the horror of the many Jews who lost their lives in the Holocaust. The facility tells the story from several vantage points, focusing on how the Holocaust reshaped the lives of many Jews. The museum also highlights the stories of Virginia survivors and that makes up what is perhaps the venue's most emotional exhibit.
