Editor’s Note: Vol 1
Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve had incredible opportunities to speak in community with several artists, creatives, and business owners in Richmond.
We vibed out with Shae La Soul at the Len and Hip Hop Henry at Get Tight Lounge on Wednesday. Thursday we headed over to Southside Contemporary Art Gallery to relish on the final days of the “Keep It 1000 Exhibit.”
We caught up with the Silly Genius later in the week to discuss the covering of the murals in Richmond at a new bev shop called Natroganix and had the amazing opportunity to meet the owner, Nat.
The visit to SCAG, in addition to chatting it up with Silly, led to conversations about art, the future of artists and Black creatives in Richmond, and a collective idea of how do we bring it all together.
The Richmond Seen initially was a vision for us. To bring to life that there’s plenty of shit to do in Richmond. But this week made us realize our calling is also to bring awareness via print and digital media to the call for community amongst creatives and artists alike. Richmond is a powerhouse if we are a collective. And it deserves to be seen.
So, with that said we’re taking a collective pause this week on news as we move forward to head to print in March. To say we’re nervous is an understatement. But we’re so honored to be a source of your stories. OUR stories.
We’ll see you later this week with new music and the start to our Monthly event calendar to keep us in the know.
Peace
The Richmond Seen
