The Riverviews Circle
Riverviews Artspace is Central Virginia's home for contemporary art — a downtown Lynchburg destination where nationally recognized exhibitions, working artist studios, and hands-on education programs bring contemporary art, and the artists behind it, into the everyday life of our region.
That belongs to everyone here. Keeping it that way takes a community of people who believe a region is stronger, more curious, and more connected when contemporary art is part of daily life.
The Riverviews Circle is that community and the Circle is what carries it forward — the exhibitions, the studios, the ideas — and keeps Riverviews a place to create, to connect, and to be inspired.
Join with a gift of $100 or more. Every member of the Circle is recognized on the donor wall in the gallery.
