Artspace began in 1988 as an association of artists interested in exhibiting their own  work and providing a space for other artists to reach a wider audience in the greater Richmond, Virginia area.

Since then, Artspace has maintained a gallery committed to showing first quality visual art in a variety of innovative styles and media.

The gallery has also been the forum for original work in poetry, prose, drama, dance and music.
