The new issue is ready for you to scope online and it is damn good. We bring you a pile of local art to sift through sprinkled with interviews with painters Catherine Brooks and Joshua Barber, we go deep with Thea from Ghostprint about “Drawing Blood”, plus the return of the music reviews, our holiday gift guide and the art of the show poster. To check out the issue as always go to the CURRENT button at the top right of this page or click GOLDEN DAZE.

Oh, as a bonus and something that we will be continuing to add to; you can click all the hyperlinks inside the magazine to further your reading. If you view the issue as a PDF every single page and every ad is clickable for more additional information. Try it out and in future issues we are going to be embedding video in the online magazine to go along with the written word and photography. Technology! You gotta love it.

Last thing, the issue is on the streets now with more distro being done on Black Friday. Look for us everywhere.

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.
