The 2026 #2ndStreetRVA poster was commissioned to Amiri Richardson-Keys (@amiri.life), an artist based in Richmond who celebrates and elevates the profound beauty, resilience and strength of the African American community with a particular focus on Black women, children and the essence of the Black family.

🚨 Official posters and t-shirts will ONLY be available to purchase at the @VentureRichmond tent on 2nd Street during the festival and at @Plan9Music Carytown after the fest.

I enjoyed my 7th @1708gallery Monster Drawing Rally yesterday. I sat with @sylvioland who created an abstract piece. I made a jumbo pumpkin with watercolor pencil, watercolors & acrylic paint markers. After our shift, I walked around to see friends & other local artists. I tried getting more group photos this time. I tagged who I could remember seeing & who allowed tagging. If you're in this video & want to be tagging, comment to let me know.

Today, @1708gallery brought back its Monster Drawing Rally, turning the gallery into a live studio as some of Richmond’s favorite artists made new work in real time.

As pieces came off the tables, they went straight onto the walls for sale in support of the nonprofit art gallery. Now in its 17th year, the Monster Drawing Rally is part art show, part fundraiser and part celebration of Richmond’s creative community doing what it does best — making things together.

Every big idea starts with a “what if?” 💚🚛

The Beet Box Food Truck started as an idea to bring fresh, feel-good food to more people—and quickly became something even bigger. This part of project came to life through collaboration, creativity, and a whole lot of community.

Stay tuned for #804Day as we reveal the process behind the truck, more insight from the artists, and announce a special giveaway. 👀🛍️

Spent the day with some incredibly creative young artists at the Arts Community Center Summer Camp, teaching them how to turn their names into bubble letters.

Watching them go from “I can’t do it” to adding their own style and personality to every letter was the best part. A reminder that creativity isn’t about being perfect—it’s about having the confidence to make your mark.

Can’t wait to see where their creativity takes them.
