The City, in partnership with Sports Backers’ Bike Walk RVA initiative, will be hosting a Bike Master Plan Open House on May 14 at the Carillon in Byrd Park at the intersection of Blanton Ave and Park Dr. This interactive forum will provide attendees with an opportunity to engage in roundtable discussions with group facilitators to help us make refinements to the draft bikeways network.

THE REALLYBIG SHOW: May 17, 2014A New Way to Spotlight the Spectacular Young Talent of Richmond

 

The event runs 1-5 p.m. at Abner Clay Park, on Brook Road between Clay and Leigh streets. Parking will be available on the street and in several pay lots in the area.

 

Young people from across the city will come together on Saturday, May 17, 2014, at “The Really Big Show,” ART 180's newly expanded annual celebration of youth voices and showcase of their visual and performing art. This year the show, which is free and open to the public, will move outdoors to Abner Clay Park in historic Jackson Ward to cast an even greater spotlight on the 11 community-based programs in creative expression offered by ART 180 this spring. Much like its predecessor, The Really Big Show will allow the Richmond community to experience artwork created by young people in ART 180 through the exhibition of visual art projects as well as dance and theatrical performances. This year the family-friendly event will also include elements formerly part of ART 180’s Jonny Z Festival, such as activities led by youth and adult artists, food trucks, DJ Graybeard from WRIR 97.3fm, the Bizarre Market, and more carnival-style fun to create an entire afternoon celebrating art and community. The Jonny Z Festival is no longer a stand-alone event.
