OUT NOW! Street Heat Mini-Mag

by | Jun 20, 2012 | POLITICS

RVA Magazine brings you our newest mini-mag publication–Street Heat.

Street art exploded in RVA this spring! With the near-simultaneous arrival of Art Whino’s 2012 G40 Art Festival, and Ed Trask and Jon Baliles’ RVA Street Art Festival, this spring saw murals popping up all over town. We here at RVA Magazine were very excited to see this development occurring, and we figured there’d be no better way to celebrate it than to document this street art explosion in the latest edition of our ongoing mini-mag series.

With our photographers patrolling the streets and stopping in at all of the developing sites, we were able to capture these murals in the process of being created, as well as in their finished form. You’ll see all of those in our brand new mini-mag, Street Heat, a pocket-sized collector’s item full of amazing RVA street art. Throughout the mini-mag, we’ve interspersed conversations with the artists themselves (including Chris Milk, Mark Jenkins, Dalek, and more), in which they share their thoughts about the events and what they could mean for the future of art here in RVA. The future’s looking bright to us, and this new mini-mag is even brighter, so pick up a copy and delight in the amazing images that RVA has to offer!

This issue can already be seen in digital form elsewhere on our website, so be sure and check that out, but if you want to grab yourself a physical copy, then be sure to come out to our official release party at Starlite Dining And Lounge tomorrow afternoon, beginning at 4 PM! We’ll have plenty of copies to give out to you, and Starlite will have burger and drink specials going on all afternoon, especially for RVA Magazine readers! Check out the facebook event page for more info.

And if you can’t make it to the official unveiling, fear not–copies will be appearing all around town throughout the rest of the week. Check The Camel, New York Deli, West Coast Kix, Mekong, and many other fine local establishments and you should find a stack of these lovely little things waiting for you. But make sure you snag ’em quick, because these babies aren’t going to be floating around forever.
