BuzzFeed Gives Shout out To Richmond Mural Project

by | Aug 2, 2013 | ART, DOWNTOWN RVA, RICHMOND NEWS, STREET ART

BuzzFeed is really the Human Centipede of the internet, but its always good to see Richmond get the exposure it deserves.

On a recent list of “Best Street Art in the World” BF puts more pictures than words into the post, but rank’s Richmond as #3, behind Sao Paulo, Bazil, and “More Honest and Free ads, by Vinz” (which seems to be more of a specific artists rather than a place) But whatever. Personally, I’d like to see BuzzFeed generate their own damn content once in a while, and yes I realize the irony of me say that as I generate a post about a BuzzFeed post. (LET THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE BEGIN!)

Check out the full list for the RMP2013 The Official 2013 Richmond Mural Project Guide! presented by RVA Mag

Review | Little Bear Ridge Road is an Artistic Gut Punch

Little Bear Ridge Road, does something you rarely see in popular media these days. It reminisces on the period during and just after Covid. Somehow, collectively, we’ve silently agreed to just not talk about it anymore. We don’t want to relive it on TV, in books, or...

For a decade, the mural outside the Romantix adult store, formerly Taboo, on Midlothian Turnpike has been one of Richmond's most debated pieces of public art. Now it's gone, replaced by a new collaboration between tattoo artist and muralist Jesse Smith and Miami-based...

Can Firehouse Put Richmond on the National Theatre Map?

In the electric and perpetually sincere terrain of Richmond’s theatre culture, there are institutions that do more than merely reside, they lead. They serve as a measure of our city's potential beyond its natural aspirations. I've witnessed Firehouse Theatre inhabit...

Photos | Warriors in Bloom at Agecroft Hall

For one weekend, Agecroft Hall stopped being a museum and became a kingdom.  What began as a fundraiser to help launch Richmond's first Renaissance Faire has grown into a destination of its own. Warriors in Bloom, created by the folks at Virago Alley, returned with...

Everything We Did Was A Bad Idea

Editor's Note: Writer's Block is a space for Virginia writers to share personal essays, fiction, memoir, and works that fall somewhere in between. We’re standing on some corner in downtown Richmond: me, my two friends, a pair of women, and their male friend we had met...

Review | SAFETY! Swings Big But Falls Just Short

WARNING: This review contains baseball metaphors.  Cadence Theatre’s Pipeline New Works Program is at the plate again, with its last batter, Witchduck, staring at home from third base. It is literally the first swing ever for the new musical, SAFETY!, at Firehouse...
