An amazing non-profit art gallery that supports contemporary and conceptual artists. The programs, including InLight - a two-night public art installation, Monster Drawing Rally, and Cabin Fever, are exciting and rewarding. They have a new artist residency program that is fantastic and offers another opportunity for artists to engage with Richmond's art district. They also exhibit work at a satellite location, Linden Row Inn.

1708 consistently presents thought-provoking contemporary work in a space that invites you in. There isn’t another gallery like it in Richmond. 1708 isn’t for-profit and it isn’t a university space: it is a place for provocation and engagement with contemporary art. It’s also welcoming, warm, and inviting, a place where you feel safe to explore and question art. 1708 is an anchor in Richmond’s art community.

1708 Gallery is one of the fantastic galleries located in downtown Richmond. A great place to check out during First Fridays, or any day, 1708 Gallery always features new art from fresh contemporary artists. Every November they host my favorite Richmond event, InLight, a festival of light based art installations that inhabit a specific part of the city for one night. All in all, 1708 Gallery never fails to present events that engage the community and promote the work of up and coming artists.
