GCCR Gallery Seeks Aspiring Artists |
 |
 |
|
 The GCCR Gallery is seeking the work of aspiring LGBT artists in Central Virginia. We have an unexpected opening in our show schedule, and we plan to use that time to showcase the work of local artists who do not regularly show their work in other galleries. This is a great chance for you part-time sculptors, painters, photographers, and potters to put some of your work on display in a gallery setting! We're seeking work in all media to create a diverse and interesting show.
If you're an amateur artist with great work to display please submit pictures of your work to gjohnson@gayrichmond.com. We're hoping to find enough aspiring local artists that we can have this show in place by the end of July. Keep reading below for more details. |

10th Anniversary Logo Selected |
|
|
|
 Congratulations to Nathan and Tony Archer of Lorem Ipsum Design Studio, who designed our 10th Anniversary Celebration logo, shown at left. Tony and Nathan both attended VCU and then attended graduate school at Florida State University. They subsequently opened Lorem Ipsum Design Studio, and have done design work for Virginia Commonwealth University and the Virginia League of Conservation Voters.
Our 10th Anniversary will kick off in September in conjunction with Gay Pride Virginia and last until September 2010. Our first event will be held in conjunction with Gay Pride Virginia, with other 10th Anniversary events throughout the year. Check back for announcements of upcoming events! The Gay Community Center of Richmond was founded in 1999 to provide support for the agencies and groups that serve Central Virginia's sexual and gender minority people, and to educate the public about the many issues facing our community. In 2004, we purchased our current home and began renovations that culminated in April 2008 with the opening of Virginia's first community center serving the needs of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Our Community Center currently houses the GCCR Gallery, classroom and meeting facilties, an event hall and Diversity Thrift. Come by and see us sometime soon! |

We need volunteers! |
|
|
 | Would you like a way to support the work we do at the Gay Community Center of Richmond but can’t afford to make a donation? Volunteering at Diversity Bingo is a terrific way to contribute! Our Community Center is funded in part by our Bingo games, which are staffed entirely by committed volunteers like you. Our facility is used by dozens of groups each year for meetings, classes, performances and special events. Our own programming includes a popular art gallery and a growing list of educational programs serving our diverse interests and needs. We are critically short of committed volunteers who are willing to give us only five hours per month to help us run this vital program! Our Bingo games help support: | | - The Gay Community Center of Richmond Gallery - Richmond’s first successful gallery dedicated to featuring LGBT artists.
- GayRichmond.com, which allows the twenty members of the Central Virginia Rainbow Partnership, including ROSMY, Equality Virginia, PFLAG, GLSEN and many more to publicize their great work
- Providing a venue for Gay Pride Virginia which attracts over 4000 participants.
- Providing a venue for performances such as The Richmond Triangle Players’ “Pulp” and “Bite Me.”
- Meeting space for support groups, networking groups and educational programs.
Just one Tuesday morning, Tuesday evening or Thursday evening a month is all we’re asking for. Please help us by making this small, but vital commitment. Together we can continue to build an organization that accomplishes so much more. To volunteer e-mail GCCR at info@gayrichmond.com. You - and our community - will be glad you did. |  |
