"Working with a canvass literally larger than life, the festival weekend will center around the iconic silos and will also include a large water tank, warehouse, and several out-buildings. Murals, lighting installations, sculpture, musical performances and numerous other forms of performance art will be featured at the festival. More details will be revealed in the Spring of 2015.

"Beginning in the Spring of 2015, the RVA Street Art Festival is honored to partner with the Manchester Civic Association and other local artist groups to bring art, color, and creativity to the neighborhood to create a vibrant arts district that builds on recent similar successes throughout Richmond.

“This festival will be bigger than anything we’ve done in the past. It’s literally going to be huge. Our goal is to keep creating large community-driven experiences like last year’s event at the GRTC bus depot,” says artist Ed Trask.

“This is an incredible opportunity to showcase the creativity of RVA, not only to residents and thousands of people daily on I-95, but also to the world - just before the 2015 UCI World Championships kick off to hundreds of millions of viewers,” said Baliles. “They will all see the creative spirit of Richmond.”
