Annual MLWGS Fall Art Walk event on November 4th @ 5:30 pm

On November 4th, the MLWGS Visual + Performing Arts Dept. and the MLWGS Visual Arts Boosters (VAB) will be hosting our annual Fall Art Walk event, in conjunction with Richmond’s First Fridays.    First Fridays RVA is the monthly event when art galleries on Broad St. and Main St. all open to the public for the evening.  There will be a lot of artwork to enjoy!  

To begin the evening, our wonderful Visual Arts Boosters will be hosting a reception from 5:30 pm – 6:00 pm. Please join us for snacks and fellowship prior to heading out to the galleries.  If you are willing to help out with food and set up for the reception, please sign up here….

We will give everyone maps of the galleries and Coach Hall will take anyone who would like to join him around to some specific exhibitions.

To help you avoid having to park downtown, we will be providing a school bus that will run a circuit from the Main St. galleries to Broad St. and back to school all evening.  The bus will continue this circuit throughout the evening until the last pickup at 8:45 pm.  This way you may stay for as long (or as short) as you like.  Details will be discussed that evening.

 If you’ve never had the opportunity to participate in a First Fridays Art Walk – or even if you have – we’d love to see you at our event! It’s always a very fun evening. All are welcome (students, parents, family members, & faculty)!

 When:  November 4th, 2022, 5:30 pm – 9:00 pm

 Where: Meet in the “adjunct classroom”, room #153, near the Maggie Walker mural to enjoy snacks and refreshments.

 RSVP: by Nov. 2nd – http://evite.me/cKE8sRX2bJ 

Additional details can be found here: http://www.maggiewalkervab.org

Thanks again and we hope to see you and your young artists at this event.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  

Sincerely,

 

Jeff Hall
