Happy Holidaze! We Are On A Break, We Hope You Are Too

by | Dec 23, 2016 | COMMUNITY

Has anyone else thought 2016 has been a strange year so far? We are taking a small break over the holidays to regroup and recharge and process the last 12 months. So let’s be merry, sip a holiday brew or two, eat all the foods, hug our loved ones, read the newest issue of RVA Magazine and enjoy this mini vacation while we can.

Until then we leave you with this photo of our heroes created by artist and friend Nicholas Tharpe, follow him for more locally created weirdness/genius at @foulperalta Oh, while you are at it follow us @RVAmag too.

Have a safe Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all of you out there!

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.
