Richmond’s bustling arts scene continues to develop and flourish with amazing painters, sculptors, musicians, designers, and artists of all kinds, but once a month RVA offers us a really great treat with First Fridays.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, than you know the first friday of each month, RVA’s arts districts hosts an art walk on Broad Street from Laurel Street to 7th, and from Franklin to Clay streets featuring cool events at galleries, shops, restaurants and other spots in Richmond’s Arts District.
The artwork starts today from 5 to 9 pm and RVA Mag has picked some our favorites out of the this month’s lineup. So checkout the rundown below:
