Spring2ACTion 2022
Wed, April 13, 2022 - Wed, April 27, 2022
Starting Wednesday, April 13 through Wednesday, April 27, 2022 (Giving Day) our community comes together to support the amazing work of Alexandria nonprofits through Spring2ACTion, hosted by ACT for Alexandria. Please remember Del Ray Artisans is one of those worthy causes!
Del Ray Artisans has been promoting art for the benefit of local artists and the community since 1992. This year marks our 30th anniversary! Del Ray Artisans supports the development of artists at all levels and serves as a center for thriving artistic activity in Alexandria, Virginia.
During Spring2ACTion 2022, please give your support to Del Ray Artisans’ exhibits, programs, youth and outreach activities which help members of our community grow as individuals and as artists. Funds are needed for mission-driven in-person and virtual exhibits and programs.
