The President's Letter: The Future of Arts and Education in Coastal Virginia

 

The Future of Arts and Education in Coastal Virginia
August 2023
Dear friends,

We hope you've seen the exciting news regarding our groundbreaking partnership with the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (Virginia MOCA). The new facility, to be built on VWU's campus, will serve as a hub for creativity and innovation, fostering artistic expression and offering an immersive experience for visitors and students alike. With an inventive design and versatile spaces, the facility will be equipped to host a range of exhibitions, performances, and educational programs available to students and the greater public.

The central location on our campus will make Virginia MOCA even more accessible, allowing the Museum to better connect with the cultural and educational fabric of the Coastal Virginia area. By integrating the arts into our campus, we are creating an environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and cultural appreciation. This collaborative effort with Virginia MOCA will further strengthen our commitment to providing a well-rounded education for our students.

Funding for the project has been generously provided by Jane Batten, Joan Brock, and Susan and David Goode. These esteemed individuals have long been strong supporters of Virginia MOCA and VWU throughout each organization's history. With their contribution, we are excited to help shape the future leaders of the world through the power of art.

Sincerely,
Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art and Virginia Wesleyan University Unveil Plans for Groundbreaking Partnership
