Summer Camp 2020 Update: Opening July 13

Due to state and local regulations around COVID-19, we will be beginning our Summer Camp season LATE this year, and in order to comply with social distancing practices, we'll be limiting the number of camps (and students within them).

Maggie Fickett: In Plein Air

Online Exhibition Coming in Mid-May!

Maggie Fickett tirelessly documented the streets, parks, and neighborhoods of Greensboro for nearly 30 years. This exhibit of her work pays tribute to a lifetime spent honing her craft and provides insight into the process and practices of a successful working artist.

Originally scheduled to be a gallery exhibit, this online show pays tribute to a true working artist who practiced her craft every day. Full of area landmarks, local parks, and observations of daily life, Maggie Fickett's work reveals a flexible mind, a quirky sense of humor, and an impressive technical prowess.

For more about the artist, see Maria Johnson's article in the O.Henry Magazine.

What We Do at the CVA

EXHIBITS

CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

OUTREACH

We have been at the heart of Greensboro’s art community since our earliest days as the Greensboro Artists’ League (est.1956). As the City of Greensboro works to build a master arts plan for the area, we are uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in recognizing, supporting, and building on the contributions of creatives in our community. We know how important the arts are to vital, healthy cities!

By serving local artists, providing exhibition opportunities and studio workspaces, relevant educational opportunities for adults and children, and continuing to offer outreach programs in local area schools we will remain at the hub of Greensboro’s vital creative community and seek ways to grow within it.

The CVA is a 501(c)(3) visual art nonprofit organization (Federal Tax ID# 56-6083717). We value our members and supporters. To help us fulfill our mission, donate here.
