Virginia Supportive Housing and Art on Wheels invite you to join the quest to Find Art Doors! From public parks to favorite landmarks, you’ll discover art while rediscovering Richmond.
We up cycled 40 doors representing those removed from the renovation of a Virginia Supportive Housing apartment complex for formerly homeless individuals. We then worked with local professional artists and community groups to help showcase our creative community by turning the doors into works of art! The doors are now installed at museums, parks, historic sites and other landmarks around Richmond for everyone to enjoy.
For your summer fun, we created a “quest” to find all 40 of the doors! Post photos of the doors to Instagram (#findartdoors) and you can win great prizes, too.
See a door you love? Mobile bidding starts in September, and will conclude in October with a live auction event. Register now and we’ll let you know when bidding begins, or simply vote for your favorite door.
