The Commonwealth of Virginia’s  Art and Architectural Review Board (AARB) reviews and advises the Governor on the acquisition and design of works of art, buildings and structures on property owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Agencies are responsible for submitting project information to AARB for its consideration.

The AARB meets year-round, in person, on a monthly basis and is comprised of seven voting members, to include a designee of the Department of Historic Resources, and six citizen members appointed by the Governor. Of the citizen members, one shall be an architect who may be appointed from a list nominated by AIA Virginia.

In June 2022, an opening to serve in this capacity will become available.  AIA Virginia plans to present a slate of qualified candidates to the Governor’s office for consideration.  For those that are interested, please email your submission to AIA Virginia Executive Vice President, Corey Clayborne at cclayborne@aiava.org  by May 23, 2022, in a single pdf format.

All submissions will be provided to AIA Virginia’s Advocacy Advisory Council and the organization’s Executive Committee for endorsement prior to submission to the Governor.
