RVA Magazine returns this fall with RVA #26, an overloaded issue that celebrates the style and sound of Virginia’s capital in only a way RVA Magazine can.

Brought to you as always from journalists and writers entrenched in the scene, our coverage continues our esteemed legacy of thorough coverage that is as vibrant as it is sharp. For those wanting an accurate depiction of culture in Richmond, look no further than RVA #26 and the style guide it will definitely provide.

Graphic design duo ASVP grace the cover of RVA #26 (top picture) and the issue contains an in-depth interview covering their unique approach and mysterious image. Also in the art department is a look at prolific artisan Marka27 and the spiritual and familial ties that make his work a resounding success.

Over on the local music side, RVA #26 will feature profiles on hip-hop artists Peter $un as well as a chat with vicious metal band Left Cross.

We have the story on why local studio Virginia Moonwalker has become such a destination for local artists.

RVA #26 also looks outside Richmond’s great music scene to spotlight several noteworthy bands and artists scattered throughout the state, and this issue even has a detailed look inside the “Virginia Is For Music Lovers” campaign from Virginia Tourism and where it plans to go from here.

In addition to these discerning profiles, RVA #26 will feature its usual renowned coverage of craft beer, recording news, album reviews, and local artists that readers and business rely on to help keep abreast of Richmond’s ever changing scene.
