VMFA is pleased to present a project developed by students who participated in this year’s Museum Leaders in Training (MLiT) program. The work in this exhibition highlights a project inspired by Willie Anne Wright: Artist and Alchemist. On-view through April 28, 2024, “Artist an Alchemist” is an exhibition organized by VMFA that celebrates the work of the internationally renowned photographer and painter, Willie Anne Wright, whose remarkable Richmond-based career spans over six decades.
The exhibition in the Art Education Center is accompanied by an online digital resource that the students developed. After February 2024, visit the students’ online resource here.
