[Archived] City of Alexandria's Community Supported Art (CSA) Kick-Off Event

For Immediate Release: May 31, 2016

The City of Alexandria's Office of the Arts is pleased to introduce the six artists chosen for the inaugural season of Alexandria's Community Supported Art (CSA) at our opening reception on June 7, 2016 at Virtue Feed & Grain.

What is Community Supported Art?  Over the last 20 years, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy seasonal food directly from local farms. With the same buy-local spirit in mind, Community Supported Art is a similar endeavor to support local art, artists and collectors. It’s been replicated in over 100 cities in North America over the past several years. Interested consumers/collectors can purchase a "share" consisting of six pieces of locally produced artwork (one from each artist). Shares will include photography, glass, pastels, watercolors and ceramics.

This event is free and open to the public, however registration is required. For more information and to register for the reception, click here.
