RICHMOND, Va. â Duron Chavis is trying to right an environmental wrong in his neighborhood thatâs been generations in the making.
In Richmondâs Southside neighborhood, heat radiates from the asphalt and relief is hard to find. For the last five years, Chavis has been building community gardens as a way to rectify that, but he says the way his neighborhood is set up today, was no mistake. What we ve decided to do and what the work that we enjoy doing is work. To remedy that neglect and that discrimination, Chavis said.

The Richmond Shakespeare Festival is back at Agecroft Hall! Bring your lawn chair or blanket and join Quill Theatre on Agecroft’s back lawn where you can sit as close to (or as far from) other patrons as you like! You ll have a great view of the James River, the summer sky, the stage and, of course. Twelfth Night is Shakespeare s hilarious tale of unrequited love crackles with quick wit and gender-bending hijinks. Stranded on the coast of Illyria, Viola assumes the disguise of a page boy for Duke Orsino and finds herself at the center of an explosive love triangle in which identity, passion and gender all threaten to come undone. Bursting with vitality and romance, Twelfth Night gives us some of Shakespeare s most memorable characters and one of his most dynamic heroines. Purchase tickets online.
Virginia Commonwealth University’s Institute for Contemporary Art recently celebrated its third anniversary after a year marked by a four-month pandemic closure and declining attendance.
