InLight Richmond is one of the best art festivals the city has to offer.
InLight Richmond is one of the best art festivals the city has to offer. Not only does it embrace the season, it also lights up the night and takes steps to highlight some of RVA’s best parts of town.
Last year it was the VMFA, the year before it was Monroe Park Campus. This year, InLight heads to Scott’s Addition (map below) to turn the fledgling area into a beacon of nighttime beauty.
It’s something we all probably need right now. Check out details below via 1708 Gallery, who organize the shindig, and we’ll see you all there!
