For Museums, Galleries and Organizations
What do more than half a million Virginians have in common? These Virginians all had a VMFA art experience in their own communities — many of them miles from Richmond. The VMFA Art and Education Division provides educational exhibitions and programs to museums, arts centers, libraries, galleries, schools, colleges and universities, and retirement facilities throughout the Commonwealth. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Statewide Program brings the museum to you! With a network of over 1000 partners across the Commonwealth, VMFA offers exhibitions and programs designed to enhance and expand art experiences for all Virginians.
