Visual Art Studio Visual Art Studio is an artist run contemporary gallery and painting/photography studio featuring cutting edge and mainstream local/national artists.

Painting, Print, Photography, Sculpture and Mixed Media Exhibitiions plus a fine art craft Boutique. Founder/Owner Anne Hart Chay is a painter and photographer who has been creating since early childhood. Her Mom taught art classes and her maternal Grandfather and Dad both had darkrooms. At 7 maybe 8 years old studio classes at the VMFA lead to visits to the Metropolitan then all she ever wanted w

as to have her own art studio. She did just that with her first studio for 3 years in highschool. Then there was VCU, then her studio in a non-profit and now she's on Broad Street in what was an abandoned building she tirelessly renovated. For her contributions to the neighborhood, she earned the nickname Pioneer Anne; for her art, she's known as an artist's artist. Aside from her children one of the other things she's most proud of is her work with other like minded people to develop and promote a successful First Fridays Art Walk and an Arts and Cultural District designation for her neighborhood. When Anne is not in meetings or mentoring emerging artists or bouncing ideas off crazy talented people she's wondering when she'll get more time to paint, get that to do list done, with family and friends or dreaming of visiting Italy again and making it to Greece, Egypt or a Ghost Adventure with Zac, Nick and Aaron!!!
