Cultureworks Inc

The city of Richmond and the counties of Hanover and Henrico provide financial support annually. These funds were allocated for general operating support to the member organizations of the arts and culture funding consortium. This consortium is the only designated entity able to administer the combined public funding of the community arts and cultural organizations.

artoberVA is a month-long celebration of arts and culture across the Richmond and Tri-Cities region. It provides a common marketing platform that enables the promotion of hundreds, even thousands, of arts and culture events presented by the full spectrum of non-profit arts and culture organizations and artists in our region. The goal of the event is to engage the public in these arts and culture events during artoberVA, and throughout the year which leads to greater economic, educational and social impacts in our region.

Other program services include quarterly networking events, Tri-Cities Arts & Culture Action Plan, AEP6 Economic Impact Study, and other collaborative, educational or advocacy programs supporting arts and culture nonprofit organizations and artists.
