Ladies and gentlemen, the year is 2015, and here at RVA Magazine we are ecstatic to be celebrating our first decade of publication! Our Spring 2015 issue kicks off our Ten Year Anniversary with the first of several different looks back over our publishing history, which will be featured in each of the issues we release this year. This time around, we’re showcasing some of the musicians that have made the RVA music scene what it was over the past decade; from Avail to Lamb Of God, we’ve got some great full-color poster-size images to remind you why Richmond just might be the best city for music in the entire world!

We’ve also got plenty of the forward-looking coverage of this city’s arts, music, and culture that you’ve come to know and love over the past decade! We’ll give you a behind-the-scenes look at prolific local hip hop collective Gritty City Records, as well as some insight into up-and-coming indie rockers Positive No. We’ve also got an interview with local tattoo artist Amy Black, whose artistic talent and charity work with breast cancer survivors combine to make her one of the most sought-after tattooists on the East Coast.

Plus we’ll be catching up with music/video production collective Good Day RVA and visual artist Earl Mack, along with plenty more of the arts, music, fashion, and cultural observation you’ve been getting from RVA Magazine for the past decade!

As you read this, the new issue is arriving at our over 200 distribution points around the city–check your favorite local business to obtain a copy of your very own. And check out the digital version, available now for streaming or downloading at rvamag.com/magazine!
