RVA #40 ‘SINK OR SWIM’ SPRING 2023

by | Aug 8, 2023

Dive into RVA 40, the latest edition of RVA Magazine, a treasure trove of Richmond, VA’s most scintillating and raw cultural artifacts. From the lyrical musings of hip hop poet Mckinley Dixon to the edgy, streetwise lens of pro skate photographer Jonathan Mehring, this issue pulses with the city’s heartbeat.

Capture the vibrancy of Kimberly Frost’s fashion photography, the fierce authenticity of queer performer Trap Cry, and the abrasive energy of punk metal warriors Terror Cell. Immerse yourself in the alt-country soul of Holy Roller and the lush, mesmerizing concert imagery of Luxienne.

Take a seat and settle in for a gritty, no-holds-barred convo with The Broad Street Bullies bike squad, toast to the friendship between Brandon Peck and T of The Jasper that shook up Richmond’s cocktail scene, and pay homage to the storied history of local venue legend, The Camel.

All of this, plus a kaleidoscope of hidden gems, meld together in RVA 40 to paint a compelling portrait of a city’s dynamic arts and culture. An edition not to be missed by those craving the genuine Richmond experience, all in the rebellious spirit of RVA Magazine.
