RVA Arts & Cultural Events

We’re centered around art, and we celebrate it

If the 100+ building-size murals don’t tip you off, our events calendar will – the Richmond region is all about the arts. We’ve got art walks, historic theaters, and a monthly arts block party for First Fridays. A world-class ballet with cool interpretations in motion. Arts in the Park is a huge, free event, with more than 450 artists selling their works (right around Mother’s Day, in case you need a gift.) The RVA Street Art Festival goes big with outdoor canvases, and RVA Makerfest celebrates our creative culture. And of course, every museum and gallery here has its own special exhibitions.
