Art For The Journey

 

Art for the Journey


When you purchase art, you support the programs created by Art for the Journey (AFJ), a Richmond-based non-profit organization dedicated to “transforming lives through art and community.” AFJ staff and volunteers bring the joy and satisfaction of artmaking to underserved children, veterans with disabilities, incarcerated women, older adults with dementia and/or Alzheimer’s, and other special groups as well as all adults who just want to paint. We believe artmaking contributes to well-being and healing.


The art offered at the Crossroads Art Center (CAC) and its online gallery comes from our volunteer and staff artists, including several who have been nationally recognized. The artwork exhibited at CAC and on its website is often created in one of our studio programs. Current gallery and online artists include Mark Hierholzer, Cindy Paullin, Jamie Wigginton, Stephanie Shanks, Gail Clevenger, Jacquie Evans, Dr. William J. Frable, Theresa Halpin, Lezlie Hierholzer, Kimberly Price, Diana Robinson, and Lynn Tavenner.


Proceeds from the sale of art will benefit the Art for the Journey programs. For more information about our exhibit:


Our Heart = Our Volunteers

Our broad cohort of 250+ volunteers includes both artists and non-artists. There is a place for everyone to collaborate and enjoy art program teams. To become a volunteer, email Jamie Wigginton. Or, if you are interested in becoming a one-time or a sustaining sponsor, go to the Art for the Journey website and scroll to the Donations tab.
