ARTIST & ACTIVIST CALL

Volume 6: Richmond Now!

Calling all local artists, educators, writers, activists, and beyond. Richmond Now! Is asking for your submissions to Volume 6 of the Richmond Now! activity book.

For Volume 6 we have partnered with Gallery5 for their April exhibition "Richmond Resistance". Richmond was once the capital of the Confederacy, ground zero for fascism, racism, division, and oppression. But anyone who was part of Richmond in the late 90’s and early 2000’s knows that Richmond is also a locus for DIY culture, community organizing, mutual aid, revolutionary ideals, and arts experiences that express those societal movements. How does Richmond hold those disparate histories in one city?

You can pick up a copy of the community submission coloring page from Gallery5 during operating hours in April or download/ print it out using the "Submit Now" button below.

​

You can also create your own custom submission! Please submit your ideas in an all ages activity book format; puzzles, coloring book pages, writing prompts, song lyrics, articles, photography, video, community resources, etc. We ask that you make your submission interactive for the viewer. Take a look at our previous issues for inspiration.
