The Charles H. Taylor Visual Arts Center is planning live demonstrations, a collaborative outdoor mural, an art scavenger hunt and more starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 2 as part of its free Art Community Day celebrations. Additionally, CHTVAC offers free admission to its schedule of changing visual art exhibitions.

Through Aug. 23, visitors have the opportunity to explore two different exhibits:

“Please Touch the Art: Works by Sally Baker” presents sewn artworks that offer a hands-on way for the visually impaired to experience color, perspective and composition, and to understand art as a means of communication.

“PLAYTIME: Toys and Art” showcases childhood wonder and artistic expression with colorful arrays of toys and artwork either inspired by or incorporating toys, as well as interactive elements designed to evoke nostalgia and foster a sense of playfulness and discovery.   

Year round, the center also offers classes, workshops and educational programs that seek to promote a better understanding and appreciation of art through opportunities for participants to interact with artists and instructors while creating artworks of their own.

The Charles H. Taylor Visual Arts Center is located in Hampton at 4205 Victoria Blvd.
