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 | Grace and Glorie is So Good You Forget it’s Acting

Yes, this is a review of the play Grace and Glorie, currently at Hanover Tavern. It is the Hanover Tavern part of that sentence that I want to focus on first. I’m probably going to get some side-eye for this, but I completely forgot Hanover Tavern existed. What in the...

Review | BLKS is a Mixed Bag at Richmond Triangle Players

I often come off like a chihuahua on sugar pills when reviewing plays for this magazine. I am excitable, yes, but never in the service of idle flattery. I also take no joy in being critical of people’s hard work. I’ve said this whole thing before several times, but I...

There are days of doing this when I just get to gush. Today is one of those days.  I have had the pleasure this past year of witnessing some of the best theatre of my life. VA Rep’s Primary Trust floored me. Richmond Shakespeare continued their epic run of hits...

Studio Two Three has been around long enough to forget how likely it was to fail. Sixteen years ago, a small group of friends wanted to keep making art in Richmond. They pooled money from working in local restaurants to pay rent, borrowed equipment and built an...
