This year’s focus is “The Art of the Mural.” Some of the most well-known mural artists from around the world will be in town: El Mac, Roa, and Aryz, to name a few. I’ve been told that some local Richmonders will be doing their thing as well, and I am very excited to see that. Check out everything about this amazing art project at RVAMag and Art Whino’s websites. Like Gaia on Facebook – he is mad cool.

Before Anyone Was Watching

I went to Virginia MOCA expecting to hear Andy Howell talk about skateboarding. Instead, I left thinking about community and how people find each other. Howell's installation opens Seamless, the museum's new exhibition exploring the overlap between art and design. At...
