The Arts at VCU are pleased to present an evening of jazz and community connection at the Markel Center at the Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU. The event will honor the late dean, Murry N. DePillars’ remarkable contributions to VCUarts and the Richmond creative community. Dr. DePillars served as dean of VCUarts from 1976 to 1995.
