The Visual Arts Center of Richmond (VisArts) operates as a nonprofit organization providing visual arts education and programming in Richmond, Virginia. It serves both adults and children through classes, exhibitions, community programs, camps, and special events, reaching over 50,000 participants annually. The center offers more than 1,600 classes each year across disciplines such as clay, wood, fiber, painting, photography, printmaking, glass, metal, drawing, writing, decorative arts, and other visual media.

Based in Richmond, VisArts traces its roots to 1963 when it began as the Hand Workshop in Church Hill and later moved to a renovated 30,000-square-foot facility that includes the 1,800-square-foot True F. Luck Gallery. In January 2026, VisArts announced the acquisition of a new property and engaged architectural firm 3North to redesign the facility to expand classrooms, exhibition space, and offices.
