Description
2024 CAC All Media Show "McMasterpieces" Call For Entries
Crossroads Art Center announces a special Themed All Media Show “McMasterpieces”, to benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Richmond VA
When I think of McDonald's restaurants, I often think of iconic elements like the Golden Arches logo, the Big Mac, fries, and the PlayPlaces. It’s also known for its fast service and global presence, making it one of the most recognizable fast-food chains in the world. The smell of fries, the sound of the drive-thru, and the variety of menu items that cater to different tastes are also key aspects that come to mind.What about you? What do you think of when you think of McDonald's? For our McMasterpieces exhibit, we’re inviting artists to share their unique perspectives and interpretations of what McDonald's means to them.We can't wait to see what you create!
This show will be Online on Crossroads Art Center's Website, AND Live at the Center.

Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Richmond (RMHC Richmond) is an independent, non-profit chapter of Ronald McDonald House Charities. We provide a “home-away-from-home” for families with children receiving care at local area hospitals throughout the Richmond region. When a child is sick, the entire family needs comfort and support. We believe no family should have to deal with their child’s medical crisis alone.
RMHC Richmond eases the hardship that families caring for sick children often face, through programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children. Through our core programs Ronald McDonald House® and Ronald McDonald Family Room®, RMHC Richmond keeps families with sick children together and close to the medical care their child needs. At leading local hospitals, RMHC Richmond provides unique family-centered care and services through the Ronald McDonald House Sibling Center, Hospitality Cart and Lunches with Love programs. These programs ensure that every family whose child needs access to specialty care in RVA has world-class temporary housing and support services and the opportunity to be actively involved in their child’s care.
