allcityartclub.com finally has a space. the creative muscle we bout to flex is gonna be Herculean

In other exciting news we finally got a space for All City Art Club so expect some real artsy and transformative shit in the city coming soon. @sillygenius.bsky.social

seeing @chrisvisions.bsky.social Candyman mural, a few hundred feet away from where slave auctions used to take place, become the backdrop for pickleball is … fucked up but also too on the nose

gahdamn

like, I understand the scarcity of venues. but damn. all it took was DJs and some hookah to make people overlook that they straight up stole from the artists that made that place what it is?

the cultural capital of that building was the murals. they purchased the building anticipating being able to use those murals in the branding/marketing. realized it wasn’t that simple. signed contracts to compensate the artists and then spun the block to say “actually we ain’t paying. do sum’n ”

seeing some silver spoon outta state rich kids use one faction of the creative community to launder their strong arm robbery of another arm of the creative community … stings a bit. can’t even fake like it doesn’t

got selected to the Public Art Commission in Richmond VA. 2 yr term. working very hard to push the city to invest in public art projects that directly benefit the community & overall, i’d like to help build a more sustainable environment for creatives living here, especially urban contemporary art
