by | Jul 20, 2016 | COMMUNITY

After a wildly celebrated issue in April, RVA Magazine returns this July with our 25th issue that will cement our place as the leader in coverage of Richmond’s vibrant cultural scene, from art and libations all the way to photography and music.

After a wildly celebrated issue in April, RVA Magazine returns this July with our 25th issue that will cement our place as the leader in coverage of Richmond’s vibrant cultural scene, from art and libations all the way to photography and music.

As always, our coverage comes from hawk-eyed members of the scenes themselves giving you a first-hand look at what is truly going down in Richmond direct from the people themselves making the waves.

Heading up our next issue is a great look at the Dali exhibit that captured a great deal of Richmond’s attention during its stay at Chasen Galleries and the curator who made it all possible, the much exalted Madame Argillet. We also have a look at local photographer Joey Wharton before he went out on the road with local band Sleepwalker’s on their national supporting tour with The Lumineers.

It’s a perfect look into the creativity and drive that fuels one of the city’s most sought after photographers.

Over on the music side, this issue will take you behind the scenes with the lyrical acrobatics of rapper Fly Anakin, the bombastic Mikrowaves’s lofty ambitions as well as RVA’s own kings-of-drone COUGH.

We bring this all to you in RVA #25, as well as our wonted and astute coverage of craft beer, recording news, album reviews, and local artists that readers and businesses have come to anticipate from us.

It’s Still Our City | Ep. 5 Destructo Disk

The Richmond 34 Sat Down. What Are We Standing Up For?

Sixty-five years ago, a group of brave young Black Richmonders walked into a department store, sat down at a lunch counter, and refused to leave. That’s what they did. That’s what got them arrested. They just sat in a segregated space where their presence alone was...

Detroit 67 Is Ablaze at the Firehouse

I’ve given up on trying to write reviews of plays I see at the Firehouse Theatre immediately after leaving the show. Maybe I’m slow, but there is always so much to process that “sleeping on it” is the only way I’m going to unpack the turmoil they’ve left me with as I...
