Showcasing the artist within

Join the Program

This event is the highlight of the summer for VCU Health. Our patients, guests, volunteers, staff and their family members all look forward to the National Arts Program Exhibit. I even notice a positive attitude change in each person as they view the exhibit. Many are amazed at the employees' caliber of artistic talents.

It's amazing how much joy the art show brings to visitors and staff. When I see them pause and reflect on the piece they're enjoying, I can actually see that for a moment whatever troubles their day has brought, they are transformed to a better place, and it makes all the hard work worth it!

About the National Arts Program

At the National Arts Program, we empower organizations across the country to host art exhibitions that showcase the creativity of their employees and families.

By fostering a strong and inclusive community that builds confidence, encourages risk-taking, and values self-expression, we grow and strengthen workplaces and communities. We ensure that creativity is recognized and validated, sometimes for the first time, with prizes, scholarships, and awards programs.
