about

RVA Mag is all about community empowerment. How do we do this? By delivering new and innovative ways to tell stories from our city and Commonwealth. In doing so, we give our readers an immersive experience which lives at the intersection of art, music, culture, and politics. And as a digital and print magazine that represents the best and sometimes worst of Richmond and Virginia, we make space for all of our communities to be equally represented in our pages. Given the complex times we live in, this will always remain a priority for us and we take this mission with the utmost seriousness.

Since our first issue in 2005, our editorial and design team has created a brand that has become one of the leading cultural ambassadors for the city of Richmond. Our readership has grown to include all parts of the Commonwealth and our social networks continue to stimulate and lead the conversation around the most pressing issues of the day. RVA Mag will continue to be on the forward edge of content creation with outputs that meet a design and editorial standard that is consistent with the same growth and evolution that Richmond has become known for regionally and nationally.

We would like to thank all of our friends, comrades, clients, sponsors, contributors, editorialist, creators, as well as any enemies and villains which journeyed with us to this point. The trust you have given us to tell the stories which need to be told continues to motivate us in ways which we can hardly express.
