A colorful new mural by Richmond artist @whos.mars A colorful new mural by Richmond artist @whos.mars_ now stretches across an exterior brick wall at Maybury Elementary. The mural pairs the message “We Learn Together, We Grow Together” with its Spanish translation, “Aprendemos Juntos, Crecemos Juntos.”

Shared during Hispanic Heritage Month, @whos.mars_ describes creating the mural as a full-circle moment. “When I was in elementary school, I remember my school celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month,” he says. “I can still vividly remember the music, the food, and how happy everyone was. Those memories have stayed with me throughout the years.”

Students helped paint the new mural, something @whos.mars_ says made the project even more meaningful. “I hope that being part of this process gives them a memory they can carry with them, just like I carried mine,” he says, “and that somewhere among those kids is a young artist who leaves this experience inspired to keep drawing, painting, creating, and expressing themselves.”

Also credited were @cami.mog for helping paint, along with @sctreharne, @dmsims72, and @maybeurypta for their support of the project.
At 20 feet 11 inches wide and 8 feet 6 inches high, this is @whos.mars_’s largest mural to date.
River City artist Vicente “Vinnie” Gonzalez is cur River City artist Vicente “Vinnie” Gonzalez is currently filling the walls at Black Iris Gallery with Interpretations & Explorations, an exhibition of his large-scale abstract work.

Raised in Prince George, Gonzalez studied theatre at VCU and later opened a studio in Manchester after returning to Virginia from Chicago. Largely self-taught as a visual artist, he developed a pointillistic approach using applicators instead of brushes and now works with metallic paints and pearlescent powders across large canvases.

Now on view at Black Iris Gallery!

Richmond artist @nicocathcart can now be spotted a Richmond artist @nicocathcart can now be spotted across multiple floors of @black.iris.social.club in the Arts District. Nico is a Deaf/Hard of Hearing painter and muralist known for moving seamlessly between walls and canvas. Her art has been shown around the country and is part of the permanent collection of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

Nico’s new pieces feel right at home at Black Iris, where more than 5,000 square feet of club space brings together art, music, and community under one roof. Not to mention a mean cocktail and plenty of good conversation.

A new street mural outside the T.B. Smith Communit A new street mural outside the T.B. Smith Community Center was just completed through a collaboration between Richmond artist @hamglass, @vacommunityvoice, ARCA and students from River City Middle School. The mural is part of something larger taking shape around T.B. Smith, bringing young people and neighbors together through public art, community gardens and spaces designed around the people who live here.
✨There’s always something that feels a little magi ✨There’s always something that feels a little magical about Porch Night in Richmond’s Woodland Heights neighborhood. For September’s edition of the monthly neighborhood concert series, six acts played across three porches while neighbors wandered from block to block to catch an impressive lineup of local music.

Musicians included @ellechristinemusic, Blueberry Jam, @colinandcaroline, @hotlavaownsyou, @worthyendeavorrva, and @boulevardiersbandrva, with @westraysfinest and @cocinacalle serving up food and treats nearby. 

The final Porch Night of the 2026 season is October 18 from 4–7 p.m. in Woodland Heights.
The 2nd annual @eastcoastexpo took over the Old Do The 2nd annual @eastcoastexpo took over the Old Dominion Building @richmondraceway this weekend, bringing together more than 70 exhibitors from Virginia and across the East Coast. The four-day show featured antiques, art, vintage finds, books, jewelry, and collectibles, alongside contemporary artists and makers. The expo opened Thursday with an early-access shopping party benefiting @richmondspca, followed by three days of general admission shopping through Sunday. We stopped by on the final day to wander the aisles and celebrate with East Coast Expo founder Kipton Currier.
