Art Whino returns to Richmond, VA for the fifth installment of the Richmond Mural Project. This year we celebrate reaching our short-term goal of 100 Murals. This goal was established to allow visitors in Richmond to see a variety of murals that span from Church Hill to Carytown. With 86 murals since inception, we work with artists from all over the globe to bring further creative diversity and skilled craftmanship to Richmond. From Poland to Singapore, Brooklyn to Switzerland, the artists involved are some of the highest regarded muralists in the world.

This year Art Whino will return, bringing 10+ artists for another round of murals. As before, we will bring a diverse mix of styles that exist at the forefront of the art world.

As we surpass our short-term goal of 100 murals, we will continue with a new focus on curating a collection of murals that further establishes Richmond as a globally-recognized landmark for public art. By concentrating a large number of murals throughout the city, Richmond Mural Project will strive to increase cultural tourism and help local businesses thrive by encouraging on-foot (or bike!) exploration of the city.

Muralist begin painting July 11th and will finish their murals by July 22nd.

RVA Magazine - OFFICIAL CULTURAL & PRESS PARTNER

From day one (April 2005) we set out to lend voice to a subdued creative class of Richmond. RVA has succeeded in creating a brand that searches out the best artists, ideas, events, bands, photographers and culture-jammers Richmond has to offer and gives them a platform for exhibition that "gets" them.

Access to talented and creative people is to modern business what access to coal and iron ore was to steelmaking. --Richard Florida, economist and author. In a city best known for it's role in the Civil War (insert eye-rolling here,) the battle to be bigger than our past has been formidable. For generations, city leaders have banked on the faded silver of dubious honors - Capital of the Confederacy etc, and ignored the 21st (and 20th) centuries. With world-class schools such as VCU growing organically on their own record of excellence, media giants like the Martin Agency cementing their footprint in our cobblestones, and Fortune 100 companies relocating to attract the hordes of creatives emerging here, Richmond is exploding. New construction and development is rampant in heretofore decaying downtown retail and nightlife centers.
