The Virginia Invitation Forum for Art Students, THE FORUM, is an invitational outreach program organized by 1708 Gallery for art students from Virginia's colleges and universities. THE FORUM seeks to honor emerging artists with the opportunity to engage in critical art dialogue with members of the art community
Each year, students are nominated by their departments and invited to present their most recent work for critique by their peers, professional artists, curators and community members. These presentations are highlighted by a dialog between the artist and the audience providing unique and informed feedback and perspective. The students also get a chance to participate in an exhibition hosted by Capital One.
