The art for sale in this fundraiser was created by our Opening Minds through Art program participants. For eight weeks, VCU student volunteers worked with folks living in low-income senior housing buildings to create beautiful, unique works of abstract art. The art program is offered at no cost to the participants. Rather, in lieu of program fees, participants agreed to donate one (or more) works of art to be used for fundraising. All proceeds of the art sale will be used to support continued art, leisure, and recreation programming for low-income older adults.
Purchases made during this fundraiser are considered donations to Richmond Aging and Engaging, a registered 501(c)(3) organization.

After purchase, you will receive written acknowledgment of your donation, specifying the amount deductible.
