RVA Community Makers is an annual public art project presented by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and led by artist Hamilton Glass. The project honors African American leaders from a variety of fields. Each year, honorees are selected for their influence, impact, and inspirational stories. As a community activated project, VMFA’s RVA Community Makers showcases Black history being made every day in Richmond.
