A Taste for Art

Party by Number!

A respected art center couldn't possibly present a Paint-By Number exhibit. But Party-By-Number? Now, there's a thought! Our popular series of colorful parties is back to a full menu--we're offering not three, not ten, but 16 all-out, kick-up-your-heels, have-a-blast parties for the summer season. If you've never joined us before, you are especially invited to come on out and party! Make your "reservations" before the tickets sell out... and they will.

Sponsored by Total Wine

Proceeds benefit the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia's exhibitions and educational programs.
