Arts and Education

Engage your mind and soul.

Our arts and education programs are designed to engage the mind and soul through innovative events, activities and presentations—both on and off the VMRC campus. We’re committed to providing a variety of educational opportunities for residents to stimulate learning. Through a diversified approach, we’re able to address the needs and interests of all residents. This encourages residents to learn and grow as an individual and as part of a larger community. Here are examples of our Arts and Education offerings:

Juried Art Exhibitions

Preview the images selected for the 2018 Juried Art Exhibition. We congratulate all 89 artists from 20 states whose works were chosen by jurors to display in the 15th annual national, multimedia show.

The show is an amazing variety of original, one-of-a-kind works of art by national artists demonstrating mastery of design, technique, and creativity utilizing a range of media. Thousands of people visit our campus to view the show, purchase art and vote for their favorites.
