🎉 Congrats to the makers that strengthen our community. From February 16 to March 17, the annual RVA Community Makers art project, presented by the @vmfamuseum and led by artist @hamglass, will honor this year’s honorees for their influence, impact, and inspirational stories.

Coinciding with VMFA’s celebration of Black History Month, RVA Community Makers is designed to showcase and honor the Black history being made every day in RVA, where African American art and artists are celebrated all year long. RVA Community Makers are fellow community members who relentlessly advocate for good causes and use the power of storytelling, oration, and imagery to positively impact change for Richmond – educationally, culturally, and artistically.

This year’s artistic focus of RVA Community Makers is video storytelling! Our friend and Grid collaborator, Myles Brown (@mylo.vid) will interview, document, and visually showcase the impact made by the 2023 honorees. Check out a preview of his work below featuring this year’s honorees – including Janine Bell, Gary Flowers, and Rasheeda Creighton, Kelli Lemon, and Melody Joy Short of the @jacksonwardcollective!

RVA Community Makers Unveiling and Program will be hosted Thu, Feb 16, 2023 | 6–7 pm at the Cochrane Atrium. The event will include a brief in-person program featuring the three honorees, artist Hamilton Glass, and the unveiling of the video shorts installation by artist Myles Brown. Free, no tickets or registration required.

11 years ago today, Jason Isbell, a four time Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter, blew the doors off an old garage in the Fan with an unforgettable private show. It was also the night he took his last drink, a night he references in “Cover Me Up,” the opening track on Southeastern. #rvamusic

🛶 Our friend Justin Black (@saw__black), an accomplished Richmond based musician and filmmaker, just dropped the soundtrack for his award-winning environmental adventure film about the James River, @headwatersdown!

🎵”I’ve always dreamed of making a soundtrack to a movie, but I never thought I’d have to make a movie to do it,” says Justin. “When we set out to paddle down the entire James we didn’t know that it would turn into a feature length film - but as that became a reality I knew I wanted to take on the task of scoring the film. It was such a fulfilling experience. I brought multiple guitars down the river with me and a few of the ideas actually started out on the river. There’s some field recordings I left as is and also some loops I created and added to from those days on the river. I wanted to move away from my typical lyrical writing style and decided experimenting with open tunings, synths, and playing the bass would be a refreshing approach. The process definitely rekindled my love for just having fun with instruments and experimenting with sounds.”
