Work with arts professionals to learn how to photograph your work and polish artist statements, resumes, college essays and more. You’ll also critique and speak about your work within the group. Learn to hang a culminating show of your art which will coincide with first Friday gallery openings in September.

At the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, high school students can expand their artistic practice, grow their personal portfolios and prepare for art school. Take an Art League class and get the chance to work in professional studios, alongside working artists.

You’ll gain:

An in-depth knowledge of the medium
A better understanding of the principles of design
One-on-one coaching intended to help you discover your own personal style

For dedicated students, we offer a certificate program. Learn more about Art League at visarts.org.

  • If you have not taken an art league class before and wish to know more about this program, do not hesitate to contact us with questions. Open to all.
  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
