CALL FOR ARTISTS:

Donations for Creations is an event organized by a group of students in VCU's Graphic Design department. The project is inspired by the socially conscious design attitudes and practices taught by Noah Scalin in his course Design Rebels.

Help us help Richmond! We need donated artwork, any medium and size accepted. These works will be traded at our event for food, clothes, and goods to go to the Daily Planet homeless aid provider. Everyone benefits—artists and art students can get their work out to a wider audience, the public has a chance to collect art affordably, and the Daily Planet gets the supplies they desperately need this time of year.

Drop-off dates for art will be Friday November 14th, Saturday the 15th, and Sunday the 16th, from 2:00pm-8:00pm at 1005 Grove Ave. To arrange another time or for pick-up, please email us at donatecreate@gmail.com.

Thank you so much, hope to see you at our event on November 22nd @ 1509 W Main.
Donations for Creations
We're bringing Richmond's artists and community members together to benefit the city.

On the day of the event, works of art contributed by local artists and artisans will be exchanged for donations of canned food and warm clothing. Everyone benefits—artists and art students can get their work out to a wider audience, the public has a chance to collect art affordably, and Richmond's homeless aid programs get supplies they desperately need this time of year.

This event is being organized by a group of Seniors in VCU's Graphic Design department. The project is inspired by the socially conscious design attitudes and practices taught by Noah Scalin in his course Design Rebels.
