LCVA offers a variety of events throughout the year, from films and art workshops to vibrant exhibition openings and grand scale galas. We aim to bring our community together through events that are welcoming to aficionados and newcomers, students and professionals, and artists and non-artists alike.
Our recurring programs include the annual LCVA Gala, Art After Dark, recurring film series at High Street Theatre, free family workshops and educator professional development events. Our exhibition openings also offer special opportunities to learn about the art on display in our galleries and mingle with neighbors and friends, both new and old.
