Donations for Creations is an event organized by a group of students in VCU’s Graphic Design department. The project is inspired by the socially conscious design attitudes and practices taught by Noah Scalin in his course Design Rebels.

Help us help Richmond! We need donated artwork, any medium and size accepted. These works will be traded at our event for food, clothes, and goods to go to the Daily Planet homeless shelter. Everyone benefits—artists and art students can get their work out to a wider audience, the public has a chance to collect art affordably, and the Daily Planet gets the supplies they desperately need this time of year.

Drop-off dates for art will be Friday November 14th, Saturday the 15th, and Sunday the 16th, from 2:00pm-8:00pm at 1005 Grove Ave. To arrange another time or for pick-up, please email us at donatecreate@gmail.com.

Thank you so much, hope to see you at our event on November 22nd @ 1509 W Main.
