Murals In Miami: What We Saw On Our Summer Vacation

by | Jul 15, 2013 | ART

OK, it wasn’t really a vacation–we headed down to the Association Of Alternative Newsmedia Convention this past weekend, so our trip to Miami involved a lot of work. But we got a chance to check out some pretty amazing street art while we were down there, and we wanted to share it with you.

OK, it wasn’t really a vacation–we headed down to the Association Of Alternative Newsmedia Convention this past weekend, so our trip to Miami involved a lot of work. But we got a chance to check out some pretty amazing street art while we were down there, and we wanted to share it with you. Thanks to yearly productions by Art Basel, the curated mural displays from the Wynwood Walls, and plenty of independent artistic endeavors, street art is everywhere in Miami, and it offers a model for what RVA could look like in a few more years. Take a gander at this collection of street art shots from our Instagram account.

We’ll have more in-depth coverage of the street art scene in Miami later this week, tying in with our ongoing coverage of the Richmond Mural Project. Stay tuned!

Review | ‘As You Like It’ is Just How I Like It

If you’ve been reading these reviews for a while, you’ll notice I love me some context. Especially surrounding William Shakespeare’s plays. One of my favorite things about the existence of Richmond Shakespeare is that they’ve forced me to go back to the English Lit...
