Ding Dong Door

Richmond, Virginia---or RVA as it's more affectionately known---nurtures both its art and its artists.

Most recently, an expansive former bus depot transformed into a brick-wall canvas for murals by local artists, and beyond. After attending the debut festival earlier in September, we knew G'Ma and G'Pa Lage had to see it the following weekend during their visit.

Mom: "Wow. Someone's graffiti-tag name is really 'Penis'?"

She-Twin: "I don't know, but look how beautiful the handwriting is!"

Focus on the art...the craftsmanship...the virtuoso ability of the artist. Appreciate and enjoy.
