Drop-in for a thirty minute Baby Artsplay!™ session at the Main Branch Library!

Happening once a month, RPAA invites youth ages 3-36 months and their caregivers, the opportunity to take part in a Baby Artsplay!™ session in their community for free. Taught by Greater Richmond Wolf Trap teaching artists, Baby Artsplay!™ Family-Based Program provides children and their parents/caregivers with classes that enhance learning and development through music, movement, and drama.

Parents learn how to facilitate developmentally appropriate performing arts experiences for and with their children in a child-friendly learning environment.

What discoveries will you make during your visit to the Science Museum of Virginia? Follow the clues to find out!

Whether you’re more of the Nancy Drew type or relate better to Scooby Doo, we’re inviting the best sleuths and their crime-solving partners to join us for a thrilling kid-free night of scientific investigation.

What’s Happening?

Detectives in attendance must be keen observers of their surroundings and leave no stone unturned. In addition to all the labs and exhibitions being open, the building will be packed with hands-on activities and demos themed around mysteries, puzzles and riddles. Put on your thinking cap: your job is to deduce the truth using the evidence presented. Who’s the suspect in the sketch artist’s rendering? What are the forensics telling you? Is there a secret staircase? Equip yourself for your assignment by creating your own tools and resources!

Visit The Dome to learn about the unknown far beyond jurisdictions on Earth. The evening queries continue as our astronomer leads you in exploring cosmic mysteries on the quarter-acre screen.

An effective detective needs fuel for their stakeout, so we’ll have local food trucks Big Wife’s Mac and Cheese, Shakedown Eats and Funnel Cake Recess onsite. Bars will sell a variety of adult beverages. What will they be? It’s a mystery until you get there! Non-alcoholic drinks, candy and popcorn will also be available at concessions.

Who Can Come?

This is one part that isn’t a conundrum: Science on Tap events are absolutely, positively kid-free. Only those 21+ can attend. Even if you’re not drinking alcohol, you still need to be 21 and you must bring your ID.

What’s the Attire?

Whodunit? You did! Come in disguise or dress as your favorite gumshoe. Whether you bring your trenchcoat and magnifying glass or are prepared for anywhere in the world (even San Diego), you’re on the case. Orange turtlenecks and ascots are optional, but combining the two may blow your cover.

How Do I Get Tickets?

We’re offering two ticket options:

• Early access tickets are $25 for the general public and $20 for Science Museum members. These tickets get you into the Science Museum at 6 p.m. You get the best parking since you’ll be onsite before everyone else, and you get to hit the bar before there’s a line.

• Regular admission tickets are $20 for the general public and $15 for Science Museum members. These tickets get you into the building at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets for this event are capped to help ensure a superior guest experience. The event could sell out, so be sure you purchase your tickets early. Tickets are only available online.

Drink tickets will be for sale at the event. All event and drink ticket sales are final.

Kick off every weekend by joining us for After 5 Fridays. Explore the museum during evening hours. Enjoy free admission to the permanent collection, Highlights Tours, drink specials in Best Café, and exciting events of live music, dancing and more.

After 5 Fridays offers a dynamic rotation of categories: First Friday, Taste of Art, and Dance After Work, as well as Summer Breeze. Free; no tickets required. Drink specials start at 5:30 pm in Best Café.

Profs and Pints Richmond presents: “Rethink Your Age,” on the myths and stereotypes tied to any given age and how rejecting them improves understanding and extends lives, with Tracey Gendron, chair of Virginia Commonwealth University’s Department of Gerontology, director of the Virginia Center on Aging, and author of Ageism Unmasked: Exploring Age Bias and How to End It.

Whether you’re 18 or 80, odds are you’ve been stereotyped because of your age. Older adults are assumed to be depressed, unhappy, or incapable of using technology. Younger people often find themselves stereotyped as tech-obsessed, entitled, or lazy.

Worse yet, people who buy into negative attitudes toward ageing are at greater risk of chronic disease, depression, and diminished physical and cognitive functioning. On average people with positive attitudes about aging live seven and a half fewer years long than people with negative ones.

Come to Richmond’s Triple Crossing-Fulton taproom for a thought-provoking and often humorous talk in which Tracey Gendron, a leading expert in gerontology, will distill decades of research on aging and age discrimination and will debunk myths and misconceptions that people of all ages face.

She’ll break down the absurdity of generational bias and show why labels like Millennial, Gen X, Gen Z or Baby Boomer are primarily meaningless. While research about generations can provide a snapshot of broad trends at one point in time, she’ll explain, it’s folly to lump together millions upon millions of people within an arbitrarily defined span of time and assume they’ll have a similar behavioral blueprint and have the same cultural experiences that shape similar attitudes, values, and ideals. Juxtaposing generational labels with the concept of developmental psychology, she’ll dispel the myths that people in different generations are so different from one another that they can’t get along.

You’ll emerge from the talk liberated from misconceptions about what to expect of yourself or from others at any particular point in life. Think of your decision to attend as a gift to your future self. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.)

Sci-fi legend Cory Doctorow is coming! He will be talking with Lee Vinsel at the store.

RSVP REQUIRED

About the Book: The year is 1986. The city is San Francisco. Here, Martin Hench will invent the forensic accountant--what a bounty hunter is to people, he is to money--but for now he's an MIT dropout odd-jobbing his way around a city still reeling from the invention of a revolutionary new technology that will change everything about crime forever, one we now take completely for granted.

When Marty finds himself hired by Silicon Valley PC startup Fidelity Computing to investigate a group of disgruntled ex-employees who've founded a competitor startup, he quickly realizes he's on the wrong side. Marty ditches the greasy old guys running Fidelity Computing without a second thought, utterly infatuated with the electric atmosphere of Computing Freedom. Located in the heart of the Mission, this group of brilliant young women found themselves exhausted by the predatory business practices of Fidelity Computing and set out to beat them at their own game, making better computers and driving Fidelity Computing out of business. But this optimistic startup, fueled by young love and California-style burritos, has no idea the depth of the evil they're seeking to unroot or the risks they run.

In this company-eat-company city, Martin and his friends will be lucky to escape with their lives.

Other recent books include RED TEAM BLUES, a science fiction crime thriller; CHOKEPOINT CAPITALISM, nonfiction about monopoly and creative labor markets; the LITTLE BROTHER series for young adults; IN REAL LIFE, a graphic novel; and the picture book POESY THE MONSTER SLAYER. In 2020, he was inducted into the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. In 2022, he earned the Sir Arthur Clarke Imagination in Service to Society Award for lifetime achievement. In 2024, the Media Ecology Association awarded him the Neil Postman Award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity. York University (Canada) made him an Honourary Doctor of Laws; and the Open University (UK) made him an Honourary Doctor of Computer Science.

We had such success with our Sober Happy Hour that we are bringing it back every 3rd Thursday! Come out , we'll have lots of NA options for you

HAPPIER HOUR
Every 3rd Thursday!

Join us for an unforgettable evening of connection, inspiration and empowerment as we host an Impact Screening of the award-winning documentary Daughters. This powerful film follows the journey of four young girls as they prepare for a special Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers.

We are honored to welcome Sistah Angela Patton, a visionary leader in the Greater Richmond community and Chief Executive Officer of Girls For A Change, and co-director of the film. Her extraordinary work has earned her numerous accolades, including the prestigious “Champions of Change” award presented by President Obama in 2016.

Following the screening, Sistah Angela will join us for a thoughtful Q&A discussion following the film, moderated by Adrienne Cole Johnson, Chief of Family and Community Engage, cofounder of The Richmond Night Market, and a celebrated recipient of Style Weekly’s Top 40 Under 40 Award.

Hosted by Orchard House Middle School, an independent school for girls in the heart of Richmond, this event is a celebration of the strength, courage, and determination that all girls possess. We invite you to share in this special evening honoring the power of girl storytelling and the incredible individuals working to shape a brighter future for all.

About the film
A moving portrait of empathy and forgiveness, Daughters traces an eight-year documentary journey by filmmaker Natalie Rae and social change advocate Angela Patton. The film intimately follows Aubrey, Santana, Raziah, and Ja’Ana as they prepare for a momentous Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers. Speaking openly about their aspirations, dreams, and the emotional toll of their fathers’ absence, compounded by the constraints of virtual visits, these girls reveal a profound wisdom and resilience beyond their years. As they navigate heartbreak, anger, and uncertainty, they seize a precious opportunity to forge connections.

Daughters sheds light on the complexities of familial bonds strained by the unforgiving barriers of the criminal justice system and emphasizes that the foundation of community healing lies within the family unit.

About Orchard House Middle School
Orchard House Middle School is a thoughtfully designed school for girls in grades five through eight, located in Richmond, Virginia’s Historic Fan District. The school’s mission is to educate and inspire middle school girls in a responsive, academically engaging community that fosters each girl's intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, emotional integrity, and physical well-being. Orchard House Middle School was established upon the foundational principle that every girl is extraordinary and has the capacity to lead. We are excited for the opportunity to showcase a film that showcases the strength and resiliency that all young girls are capable of. We are even more excited to support the incredible work of alumnae parent, Sistah Angela Patton.

Why an impact screening?
Daughters has toured national and international film festivals, and it's been available to stream on Netflix since August 2024, but an impact screening is dedicated to gathering and connecting community around a shared purpose. By attending a screening that is free to the public and getting a chance to discuss the film live with co-director and local changemaker Angela Patton, the audience is taking part in something bigger than simply watching a film. The collective experience is intended to drive action, inspire meaningful reflection, and spark lasting community connections.

5:30 PM: Doors Open, Refreshments available for purchase
6:00 PM: Screening Begins
8:00 PM: Q&A hosted by Adrienne Cole Johnson, featuring Sistah Angela Patton

Food and drinks will be available for purchase. We can’t wait to share this meaningful experience with you.

Drop-in for a thirty minute Baby Artsplay!™ session at the Main Branch Library!

Happening once a month, RPAA invites youth ages 3-36 months and their caregivers, the opportunity to take part in a Baby Artsplay!™ session in their community for free. Taught by Greater Richmond Wolf Trap teaching artists, Baby Artsplay!™ Family-Based Program provides children and their parents/caregivers with classes that enhance learning and development through music, movement, and drama.

Going green has never been more fun! This activity-packed festival explores sustainability, natural resources and environmental science.

Featuring dozens of community partners plus hands-on activities and live demos, this nature-focused celebration will help guests learn about composting, wetlands, bike infrastructure, solar power, recycling, watershed restoration efforts, native plants and pollinators, energy savings and much more.

The Cause- This roughly 5k fun run is being held to honor the memory of Christian Wood, a talented young kayaker who lost his life while paddling on the James River in 2018. The proceeds from this race will be used to fund the work of Friends of the James River Park (jamesriverpark.org), the Christian Wood Scholarship Fund to send underprivileged kids to Passages Adventure Camp, and the programming of the JRPS Education Department. Friends of the James River Park is the largest nonprofit support group for the James River Park System. Our mission is to protect, expand, and enhance the Park.

This is the fifth year of this event in memory of Christian Wood. Christian was a senior at Trinity, an elite kayaker, and a regular counselor and instructor at Passages. A talented student and amateur filmmaker, he found his joy in the rapids and whitewater of the James River. In 2018, despite his kayaking skills and protective gear, he lost his life in a tragic accident in a hydraulic on the James. We hope that you’ll join us for this fun event, and help us honor Christian's memory by expanding educational opportunities and helping improve our James River Park System. Please sign up to race or make a donation today! 

2025 Changes- The race this year will be pretty much the same as it has been in previous years. The only real change is that t-shirts will be available for purchase as an option for those who want them, rather than automatically included with race registration like in previous years. Race participants will receive a completion medal, and the top two racers in each age group will receive additional prizes.

100% of t-shirt sales will go to the Christian Wood Scholarship Fund, which is one of the causes that benefits from this race. T-Shirts can be purchased through the FOJRP Bonfire site here- bonfire.com/wood-river-run-2025-t-shirts

The Course- This family-friendly 5k run/walk will take participants on through some of the James River Park System's most scenic and accessible views. One of the most popular swimming and sunbathing spots in the JRPS, Pony Pasture Rapids receives almost a quarter of a million visitors annually. The main entrance is located off Riverside Drive two miles east of the Huguenot Bridge. The specific course route is still being established, and participants should expect to be on some road, trail, and gravel path elements.

Well-behaved leashed dogs and off-road capable strollers are welcome, particularly if you are walking! Dogs must be leashed, with no exceptions, and we ask that extra care be taken to ensure that leashes do not present a tripping hazard to other participants. We want you to be able to include your furry friends, and it has to be done in a way that does not impact other race attendees. Part of the course will be along an active roadway, which is something you might need to be aware of when planning whether or not you are comfortable bringing your dog.

Catch Remi Wolf with Dana and Alden on Brown's Island Saturday, April, 26.
