“This is not my art,” was Michelangelo’s succinct response when Pope Julius II asked him to paint a simple, geometric composition with the 12 apostles on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The artist was clear that he considered himself a sculptor, not a painter. Marking the 550th anniversary of Michelangelo’s birth, a new exhibit, “Michelangelo: The Genesis of the Sistine,” also celebrates the newly renovated and expanded Muscarelle Museum of Art at William & Mary.

Often, wellness festivals are destinations. Attendees fly to faraway locations while big name presenters are flown in to lead classes and presentations for large crowds of people. But how do we continue that wellness journey once home? Rick Plautz, the founder of Rest Fest 2025, knew there was a lot going on in Richmond’s wellness scene, but he also realized that it took a lot of effort to find it. In 2023, he was inspired to try to create an event to showcase local wellness talent.

Our protagonist nervously steps up to the service counter at the Honker Burger, a fuchsia and Cadillac pink fast-food joint, and attempts to order lunch for his family. To his disbelief, the young woman working the register can’t understand him.
Double Fantasy

In “Sinners,” writer-director Ryan Coogler blows a horror-movie template up into a rich fantasia of music and passion and parable and atrocity. It is an enormous, exhilaratingly ambitious and overwhelming undertaking. Buckle up. We’ve got ourselves a juicy, horny, funny, violent and volatile blockbuster, with brains and brio and style. It is 1932 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, where Robert Johnson is said to have sold his soul to the Devil for his powers with the guitar.
Dropping Anchor

The property at 1320 Summit Ave. is a palimpsest of Richmond history. From horse stables to a horse-drawn cart and car garage to the home of artisanal cider producer Blue Bee—the first urban cidery in the state—the stone complex in Scott’s Addition has had many lives. And its foundation many before that. “The cobblestones that make up the building were likely pulled from the streets of Richmond,” says Yellow Umbrella co-owner/operator Tucker Brown.
Talk About the Passion

It’s a sleepy Thursday afternoon and Amanda Robinson is sitting inside a dark Gallery5, the celebrated arts venue she founded in 2005, excited to talk about her latest endeavor: a proposed annual event called the Richmond Renaissance Faire. “We’d want to highlight Richmond artisans, and make it Richmond-centric,” she says.
A Quoit Place

From the moment Danielle Worthing Porter attended her first Quoit Club event in 2011, she was hooked. Like most Quoit Club soirees, the event involved enjoying food and drink while touring a historic place in the city—in this instance, the former the American Civil War Museum at the White House of the Confederacy. “I enjoyed it enough that I bought a membership for the next season,” says Porter, adding that she’s attended practically every Quoit Club event since her first.
Love and Mercy

Carson Lund’s “Eephus” captures the spirit of baseball: how it can be boring and poignant at once, especially for someone, like me, who prefers the idea of the game to the reality. Lund drops us into the final game to be played at Soldier’s Field, a public spot in a small New England town in the 1990s that’s about to be razed for the construction of a school.
Lighting the Way

Walk by the colorful Blackwell Drip Mural on Hull Street this Saturday night and you may begin to feel like the walls are breathing. Don’t worry, nobody spiked your drink. Instead you’ll be witnessing Flow, an immersive, one-night-only event centered around this public mural created by artists Heide Trepanier and Chris Visions, who combined imagery of Yemaya, an Orisha queen from the shores of Africa, with the visage of Richmond hip-hop artist, Cole Hicks (formerly Lil Nikki from South Side).
Art School Confidential

An interactive virtual reality experience that explores what it’s like to be an immigrant. These are just a few of the installations that await visitors of the VCUarts MFA thesis exhibition that opens on Friday, April 11.
