Frida: Beyond the Myth
Apr
5
to Sep 28

Frida: Beyond the Myth

Twentieth-century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo continues to fascinate us with her arresting gaze, signature fashion, and trailblazing legacy. At the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, this singular artist and her extraordinary works are the focus of Frida: Beyond the Myth. 

The exhibition showcases many of the artist’s most important paintings and drawings from the beginning of her career in 1926 until her death in 1954. More than 60 works of art in a variety of media, many rarely seen outside of Mexico, include self-portraits, still lifes, and compositions from her imagination. Also on view are photographs of Kahlo taken by many of those closest to her, including internationally renowned photographers Lola Álvarez Bravo, Imogen Cunningham, Julien Levy, Dora Maar, and Nickolas Muray.   

Kahlo began painting during her recovery from a traumatic bus accident that she barely survived and that forever changed her life. This exhibition closely examines the inimitable style and complexity of Kahlo’s paintings. Her life was a seemingly open book but was also paradoxically enigmatic, as she depicted life-altering events with unflinching truth yet masterfully employed symbolism and continually reinvented herself in iconic self-portraits. Her jewel-like paintings are among the most beautiful, memorable, and haunting images of the 20th century.  

This presentation of paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs offers a rare opportunity to explore the art of Frida Kahlo, whose strength, vulnerability, and sensuality still compel us today. Discover how she crafted her image to reflect her Mexican pride, express gender fluidity, and adorn her injured body. Learn how Kahlo painted to transcend pain and physical disability. And celebrate how she ultimately triumphed to achieve her own immortality, becoming a national treasure in her native Mexico and receiving posthumous acclaim around the world.   

Frida: Beyond the Myth is co-curated by Dr. Agustín Arteaga, the Eugene McDermott Director, and Sue Canterbury, the Pauline Gill Sullivan Curator of American Art, at the Dallas Museum of Art. The exhibition is organized for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts by exhibition curator Dr. Sarah G. Powers.  

Interpretive text and audio tours in both English and Spanish and rarely seen film footage are part of the visitor experience at VMFA, the exhibition’s only East Coast venue and one of only two venues nationwide.

40 Years at 43rd Street: Robin Cage. Works in Clay
Apr

10:00 AM10:00

40 Years at 43rd Street: Robin Cage. Works in Clay

43rd Street Studios is deeply honored to announce a special celebration:


"40 Years at 43rd Street: Robin Cage. Works in Clay.”
This spring marks four decades since Robin Cage transformed 1410 W. 43rd Street into a ceramic studio and artisan gallery, a space that has come to define her lifelong devotion to ceramics. To mark this milestone, Robin is unveiling a new collection of her work, created this year and focusing on pots made in Porcelain clay.  She has been able to experiment with new forms and glazing since passing the torch to Joanna Gragnani, the current owner of 43rd Street Studios, where a vibrant community of ceramic artists now gathers to teach, create, and connect.


For more than forty years, Robin Cage has poured her heart into crafting timeless stoneware pottery. Her work celebrates the beauty in the everyday. Subtle glazes and thoughtful designs make her work far more than functional—it becomes a quiet companion to the daily rituals of life by elevating something as simple as a morning cup of coffee or a shared meal. Her pieces can be found at a local restaurant, Sen Organic Small Plate, where they continue to touch lives of the patrons who share a meal together.  She is also represented locally at Shockoe Bottom Clay.


Looking back on this remarkable journey, it’s clear that Robin's work has always been about more than clay and glaze—it’s about connection. It’s about honoring the quiet beauty that surrounds us and the way craft can transform even the simplest moments into something extraordinary.


Robin’s mastery in high-fired, reduction pottery and her unwavering work ethic have earned her a place among the region’s most respected and passionate artisans. At 43rd Street Studios, we are proud to celebrate her legacy with this exhibition—a chance to experience her latest works, which reflect both her rich history and her ongoing evolution as an artist.
The exhibition Opening will be on April 18, from 6-8 PM, with a full day of viewing and purchasing on April 19, from 10 AM to 4 PM. 


We invite the community to join us in honoring Robin's legacy—her artistry, her dedication, and the countless moments that have been touched by her hands.

Wood River Run 2025
Apr
26
9:00 AM09:00

Wood River Run 2025

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.

 Rest Fest

Rest Fest

Rest Fest is a celebration of wellness, bringing Richmonders together for group classes, speakers, music, food, vendors, and connection.

Time & Location

Apr 26, 2025, 9:00 AM – Apr 27, 2025, 7:00 PM

The Cardinal, 17301 Memorial Tournament Dr, Moseley, VA 23120, USA

About the event

There is so much going on in Richmond's wellness community, but it all happens in silos: word-of-mouth, Instagram posts, etc. Someone looking for guidance or healing has to be deep in the community to learn what Richmond can offer.


With that intention, Rest Fest is designed to bring some of Richmond's best leaders, healers, facilitators, and practitioners to one location for the weekend, so Richmonders can find their people...and themselves.

Profs & Pints Richmond: The Physics of Baseball

Profs & Pints Richmond: The Physics of Baseball

  • Triple Crossing Beer - Fulton (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Profs and Pints Richmond presents: “The Physics of Baseball,” with Scott Paulson, professor of physics and interdisciplinary liberal studies at James Madison University.

Profs and Pints is offering Richmond-area baseball fans an even bigger treat than Cracker Jack, an exploration of the physics underlying their beloved sport.

Professor Scott Paulson, who regularly teaches introductory physics classes that make the physics behind real-world phenomena accessible to all, will discuss the forces and phenomena that come into play in baseball during pitching, batting, and fielding. He’ll toss you basic physics concepts that help explain how baseball’s routine plays got to be that way, and he’ll explain what’s going on in some situations where the laws of physics seem to be violated by what’s happening on the field.

Ever wondered why curveballs curve or knuckleballs behave so strangely? You’ll learn how Newton’s laws and the Magnus force explain how pitchers get drastically different results from subtle differences in their releases.

Curious about what exactly the “sweet spot” of the bat is? Ever wondered how big an advantage batters get from the thin air of Mile High Stadium? We’ll explore the physics of the batted ball, examining the phenomena of waves and analyzing the interaction of ball, bat and batter with the help of high-speed video.

During one of the more exciting scenarios in a baseball game—the close play at the plate—fans often see outfielders throw to an infielder rather than directly to home. We’ll look at the pros and cons of this relay play, known as a “cut-off,” in the context of the physics of projectile motion.

Finally, we will also look into high-profile cheating scandals involving corked bats and doctored balls. Dr. Paulson will present models to explain how these alterations to the equipment can benefit the batter and pitcher respectively, and he’ll discuss how much these models are backed up by data.

These few hours in a brewpub will forever enhance your enjoyment of time at the ballpark. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)

80th BOOK & AUTHOR EVENT

Book & Author Event is a well-loved literary event that brings the Richmond community together every spring with five nationally-known authors and their exciting new books. Now in its 80th year, the Book & Author event is the longest-running event of its kind in the nation. 

Since the end of World War II, Richmonders have gathered in the spring to celebrate the love of reading and the tradition of writing. Born of a creative partnership between the Junior League of Richmond (JLR) and Miller & Rhoads in 1947, the best and the brightest of the literary world descend on Richmond each year for the Book & Author Event, where they discuss their creative process, inspirations, and latest best-sellers. Previous authors include Robert Frost, Mary Higgins Clark, and Emily Henry (and so many more)! 

Year after year, the event draws sellout crowds, leading it to become the longest running event of its kind in the country. In 2020 and 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event took place virtually; however, through our virtual events, we have been able to reach so many more individuals. Beginning in 2022, the event is now hosted through a hybrid format to continue engaging crowds both near and far to Richmond. 

The Junior League of Richmond invites you to be a part of the longest running event of its kind as we celebrate the 80th Book & Author Event on Thursday, May 8, 2025. The Book & Author Luncheon will begin at 12:00 P.M. at Sam Miller’s Restaurant. The Evening Event will begin at 6:00 P.M. with a cocktail hour and heavy hors d’oeuvres at the John Marshall Ballrooms. The authors presentations will begin in-person and virtually at 7:00 P.M. The Evening Event will be hosted once again by Bob Deans.

Now, as the organization deepens its commitment to the future of youth mental health, we invite you to stand with us in support of these incredible teens.

This year’s luxury, immersive experience will take you on a journey of elegance, inspiration, and philanthropy. But it’s more than just a night of glamour—it’s a testament to what happens when a community comes together to raise young women up, to help them discover their true potential, and to support a cause that touches the lives of children in need.

This is your invitation to be a part of something extraordinary—an evening where fashion meets philanthropy, where your presence has the power to change lives. Interested in seeing last year's recap? Watch Here!

40 Years at 43rd Street: Robin Cage. Works in Clay

40 Years at 43rd Street: Robin Cage. Works in Clay

43rd Street Studios is deeply honored to announce a special celebration:


"40 Years at 43rd Street: Robin Cage. Works in Clay.”
This spring marks four decades since Robin Cage transformed 1410 W. 43rd Street into a ceramic studio and artisan gallery, a space that has come to define her lifelong devotion to ceramics. To mark this milestone, Robin is unveiling a new collection of her work, created this year and focusing on pots made in Porcelain clay.  She has been able to experiment with new forms and glazing since passing the torch to Joanna Gragnani, the current owner of 43rd Street Studios, where a vibrant community of ceramic artists now gathers to teach, create, and connect.


For more than forty years, Robin Cage has poured her heart into crafting timeless stoneware pottery. Her work celebrates the beauty in the everyday. Subtle glazes and thoughtful designs make her work far more than functional—it becomes a quiet companion to the daily rituals of life by elevating something as simple as a morning cup of coffee or a shared meal. Her pieces can be found at a local restaurant, Sen Organic Small Plate, where they continue to touch lives of the patrons who share a meal together.  She is also represented locally at Shockoe Bottom Clay.


Looking back on this remarkable journey, it’s clear that Robin's work has always been about more than clay and glaze—it’s about connection. It’s about honoring the quiet beauty that surrounds us and the way craft can transform even the simplest moments into something extraordinary.


Robin’s mastery in high-fired, reduction pottery and her unwavering work ethic have earned her a place among the region’s most respected and passionate artisans. At 43rd Street Studios, we are proud to celebrate her legacy with this exhibition—a chance to experience her latest works, which reflect both her rich history and her ongoing evolution as an artist.
The exhibition Opening will be on April 18, from 6-8 PM, with a full day of viewing and purchasing on April 19, from 10 AM to 4 PM. 


We invite the community to join us in honoring Robin's legacy—her artistry, her dedication, and the countless moments that have been touched by her hands. 


---Exhibition Details:

"40 Years at 43rd Street: Robin Cage. Works in Clay"

Opening Reception: April 18, from 6-8 PM and April 19, 10 AM – 4 PM
