What began as an annual tradition has grown into one of the Museum's most anticipated and defining programs. Now presented in Virginia MOCA's new purpose-built home, the Made in VA Biennial enters its next chapter. Featuring work created within the past two years, the exhibition reflects the breadth, rigor, and vitality of contemporary art in Virginia today.September 11, 2026-March 21, 2027
