1708 Gallery’s InLight

InLight is 1708’s annual public exhibition of contemporary art. InLight takes place at night and each year is in a different location in Richmond. InLight features multimedia, sculpture, installation, performance, community-based works, and virtual projects that utilize light-based platforms (projections, lighting design, and more) to be experienced in the dark. Past sites include Chimborazo Park, the streets, facades and alleyways of the downtown Arts District, and the sculpture garden and grounds of the VMFA.

About 1708

1708 Gallery's mission is to empower artists’ ideas and voices so they can create works that matter to our communities.

We believe that artists are catalysts for new ways of thinking, connectors of different perspectives, and conveners of the curious. We facilitate opportunities with Richmond-based, national, and international artists to offer our communities diverse ideas and visions from across the field of contemporary art.
