#Artacrossva20

Art Across Virginia Day is for anyone! Whether you teach, create, are a student, work in the art industry, a museum, or if you just simply love looking at art please join us on March 6, 2020  for Art Across Virginia Day 2020! 
 
Art Across Virginia Day is also the kick-off of our Youth Art Month celebrations during the entire month of March! This event is in its third year and was created to celebrate all of the amazing art Virginia has to offer. It is designed to be a one day snapshot highlighting the vital role the visual arts play within our schools, businesses, and overall daily culture. 

It’s easy to participate. Simply take a photo of the art you are creating, teaching, or enjoying and then post it on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter with the
#artacrossva20 & #vaarted hashtags.
