Today, we’re grateful for the wild, beating hear

Today, we’re grateful for the wild, beating heart of Richmond—filled with relentless givers, doers, and community builders. From local artists and makers to nonprofit leaders and small business owners, you all pour your hearts into this little city by the river each and every day. These folks turn gifts, passion, and tenacity into progress. They don’t just build a community—they make it mean something.

So here’s the deal: shop local, support the doers, and spread the love far and wide—not just today, but all season long. Richmond doesn’t run on autopilot—it runs on people with heart.

Spread gratitude and give with purpose:
💛 Shop local
💛 Support nonprofits
💛 Uplift local artists and makers
💛 Champion the doers who work tirelessly to push Richmond forward
💛 Don’t just like and follow—put in the work

Every donation, every purchase, every kind word, every moment of support fuels the creative, compassionate spirit that makes Richmond a better place for all.

Together, we can keep the love going—this season and beyond.

🎉It happened over the weekend — Keep Virginia

🎉It happened over the weekend — Keep Virginia Cozy and friends hit ONE MILLION POUNDS OF LITTER REMOVED!

“This number, though truly just the beginning of our work, represents so much! It celebrates there being one million pounds of litter no longer in our streams, one million pounds of litter no longer in our rivers, one million pounds of litter no longer in our forests, one million pounds of litter no longer in our parks, and (arguably most important) it celebrates more than one million hours outside TOGETHER proving that Virginia really & truly is the most cozy place of all,” says @keepvirginiacozy.

For the past eight years, the local nonprofit, led by Brian Bell, has been on a mission to conserve Virginia’s natural spaces by connecting people with the outdoors, promoting inclusivity, and increasing accessibility. One cleanup at a time, the organization has built a community dedicated to leaving places better than they found them and ensuring that future generations have a beautiful, cozy space to enjoy.

In honor of this weekend’s milestone, Bell gave a special thanks to Richmond musician @tim_barry, who always includes Keep Virginia Cozy in his annual November Fest. By pairing live music with impactful community cleanups, November Fest has become a celebration of both art and action.

“Cheers to all of y’all, and this incredible trashy milestone, I can’t wait for our next million!,” says Bell.

Today marks the heartfelt conclusion of November Fest, a celebration led by Richmond’s own folk rock legend, Tim Barry (@_tim_barry_). The weekend has been a testament to Barry’s love for his hometown filled with live performances and punctuated by trail work and river cleanups with @keepvirginiacozy, @jamesriverpar, and staff from JRPS.

Tonight, Barry will close out the weekend with a sold-out family show @thecamelrva. If you’re one of the lucky few holding a ticket to this special event for kids, don’t forget to snag a gift bag and your free raffle ticket upon arrival. The prize? The junior-sized guitar pictured here, ready to inspire the next generation of musicians, dreamers, doers, and community builders.

Doors open at 5pm. The music, like a runaway train, won’t wait long to follow.

Diaper donations for @littlehandsva and food donations for @feedmoreinc will be collected at the door—because around here, community means more than just a good time.

Nestled beneath a fiery canopy of autumn leaves, the back garden at The Branch Museum of Architecture and Design has welcomed a new presence — Lazarus II. This striking bronze sculpture was created by Richmond’s legendary Rubin Peacock (@rubinpeacockbronzes).

Cast in Rubin’s own foundry, Lazarus II doesn’t just stand—it commands. The new piece draws from geometry but breathes with the force of nature. It’s a reminder that stillness can hold tremendous energy.

“We believe everyone should have access to impactful art and design like this, which is why our back garden is free and open to the public. Come see the sculpture for yourself, relax in our garden, then come inside to explore The Branch,” says @branchmuseum.

The garden, and the timeless work by Rubin, offer a quiet haven where bold design meets introspection – a place to relax and reflect. Go experience it for yourself.

There’s something hypnotic about a good bottle of bourbon when the label is just as bold as the spirit inside. Belle Isle Craft Spirits (@belleisleshine) has done it again, combining fire and finesse with their 2024 Artist Series Bourbon, and this time, they’ve called in the Night Owl himself—Mickael Broth (@thenightowl).

This is the second installment of Belle Isle’s Artist Series, building on the success of last year’s debut featuring @edtrask’s unforgettable design. The 2023 Artist Series Bourbon didn’t just capture hearts—it claimed gold at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition, cementing its place among the best. This year, the 2024 Artist Series continues that legacy, marking the next chapter in what promises to be a long-standing tradition of pairing exceptional spirits with exceptional art.

With only 691 bottles in existence, this isn’t just a drink; it’s a treasure. Each numbered bottle boasts a label that transforms sipping into an art form.

And if that’s not enough to warm your insides, a portion of the proceeds lands right back in the heart of Richmond, supporting the Friends of James River Park (@jamesriverpark). So, whether you’re a bourbon fan, an art lover, or just someone who enjoys the winning combo of creativity + craftsmanship, this bottle is a call to action. Raise your glass to bold flavors, inspired art, and meaningful causes.
