Support Art On Wheels- Mural opening tonight!


Art on Wheels Mission Statement:

Art on Wheels is a nonprofit, educational outreach organization designed to foster growth through cultural development, with a focus on under-served communities, through exposure to historically significant art processes not included in standard art programming.

Learn more about Art on Wheels, who they serve, content that they use in lessons, and more at their website.




From a recent Art on Wheels email:


We have teamed up with The Down Syndrome Association of Greater Richmond to create three large murals. Bring the whole family out to view these three spectacular masterpieces.




These large scale murals depict characters developed through an old surrealist game called "Le Cadavre Exquis." In this game, a different artist draws a portion of the character without seeing what the other artist(s) have drawn. The results are very fun and exciting! Each mural displayed places these characters in different quirky and whimsical scenarios.




Please join us for the reception at the Children's Museum of Richmond at 5:30 on Friday, March 26th.

The Children's Museum is located on 2626 West Broad Street.

Cookies and milk will be provided.

We would also like to thank Fan Frame for stretching the murals and mounting the drawings. Visit their website at http://fanframe.net.

See you there!

Cheers!

Kevin Orlosky, Director of Programs
