“Behind the red door of 19 North Main Street, in Kilmarnock is a place to be inspired by art in the community and the community in the arts.”

The RAL Art Center is a non-profit community resource that welcomes everyone to discover how art can enrich our lives and bring people together. It provides a place for residents and visitors to create and appreciate the visual arts and to buy quality artwork by regional artists.

For 68 years the RAL has been the largest and most active visual arts presence on the Northern Neck. Run almost entirely by volunteers, it is they who organize monthly exhibits, community events, art education programs and a cooperative artist gallery… truly an impressive history of art in the community. The RAL Art Center is proud to be on the Northern Neck Artisan Trail.
