VAM is closed to the public but the art is up! VAM's Creative Residency's artwork can be seen through the glass at VAM's art centre in Riverwood Park. As we look forward to the future of returning to exhibitions in-person, VCR has installed art for visitors of Riverwood to happen upon as they embark on the trails and enjoy the nature surrounding our centre. If you are in Riverwood, look for the VCR QR code to link to this site and learn about our Creative Residents. Enjoy this unexpected encounter with art!
