“Seeing Differently: Drawing What You Actually See” with Artist Agnes Grochulska
Wednesday, March 18th, 2026 | 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

In this hands-on, artist-led workshop, participants will explore powerful visual exercises that shift the brain from habitual, symbolic thinking to true observation. Through guided drawing activities, short demonstrations, and moments of reflection, you’ll learn to quiet analytical judgment and strengthen the perceptual skills that lead to more accurate, confident drawing.

Rather than focusing on style or perfection, this workshop trains the foundations of realistic seeing: edges, negative space, proportion, light and shadow, and how the whole image fits together. These skills benefit anyone who wants to draw more realistically — whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or refining an existing practice.

Tickets ($75) include drawing materials, wine & light refreshments.

You built a business, but at some point, building isn’t the hard part. Scaling is.

Growth changes the rules. The habits that helped you get here can start working against you. More revenue does not always mean more profit. More effort does not create more leverage.

Whether you are actively scaling, preparing for expansion, or evaluating your next move, this session will help you build a business that earns more and holds its value.

Unwind, get creative, and sip something you love at our Paint & Sip night at Nouveau Provisions. Enjoy a guided painting experience while you relax with a glass of wine in a warm, social atmosphere—no experience needed, just come ready to have fun. Seats are limited, so reserve your spot and make it a night out worth remembering.

Come chat cozy mystery with two returning favorites! Olivia Blacke and Mollie Ann Cox with be in conversation about their two newest.

About the Books:

Ruby Young is slowly adjusting to her new life in Boston. A big part of that is her unexpected roommate—the ghost of the woman who lived there before. For Cordelia Graves, she may no longer be breathing, but it’s still her apartment and Ruby is the somewhat unwanted houseguest. They’re both happy they’ve managed to become friends, which is a miracle considering they struggle to communicate with each other. Cordelia even set Ruby up with her old job.

When Ruby discovers the body of a delivery guy at work, the new life she’s been building hangs in the balance. The last time Cordelia dragged Ruby into a murder investigation, it was almost two ghosts living in the apartment, not one. Determined to protect Ruby, Cordelia tries to shield her from the investigation, but Ruby has other ideas. It will take both of them working together to navigate the fine line between the dead and the living to bring a killer to light. 

It’s December 1805, and Eliza Hamilton is determined to seek justice. One young woman is dead, another has vanished—both residents of a house where Eliza’s friend, Alice, lives among other craftswomen struggling to survive in a city unforgiving toward widows and orphans.

With no help from the constabulary because the young woman’s body was found in a bad part of town–and was dressed as a man–Eliza vows to protect the women and uncover the truth. She suspects a connection between the death and the disappearance, especially given that the young lady who disappeared went missing while searching for the woman who was later found dead. 

As Eliza traces their last known steps, she unearths a hidden world of dangerous secrets lurking beneath the city—secrets that could tear apart everything she holds dear.

This pulse-racing historical mystery will intrigue and delight anyone fascinated by the Founding Fathers and feminist history.

About the Authors:
Olivia Blacke (she/her) is the Anthony Award-winning author of the Ruby and Cordelia Mysteries, as well as the cozy Record Shop Mysteries and the Brooklyn Murder Mysteries. She had her first ghost encounter when she was five, but wasn’t involved with an active crime scene until much later, when she accidentally stepped into a chalk outline on a Manhattan sidewalk. Armed with a Criminology degree, she channels her love of the supernatural and passion for writing into darkly humorous supernatural mysteries. She wants to be a unicorn when she grows up.

Mollie Ann Cox writes cozy mysteries with edge and traditional mysteries with heart. She's the author of several bestselling mystery series, also writing under the pen names Maggie Blackburn and Mollie Cox Bryan. Her books have been selected as finalists for an Agatha Award and a Daphne du Maurier Award and as a Top 10 Beach Reads by Woman's World. The Eliza Hamilton series is the first where she combines her passions of history and mystery.

Our ever-popular Gallery Member exhibition is being held this month live in house and online with the theme: “Make it New Again! Recycled Materials”. This show is reserved for gallery members at Crossroads Art Center. Become a gallery member today! 

Crossroads Art Center invites artists to redefine creativity and sustainability in “Make It New Again!”, an exhibition celebrating artwork made from recycled, reclaimed, repurposed, or up-cycled materials. This show challenges artists to look at the overlooked—discarded objects, found materials, industrial scraps, vintage treasures—and transform them into something visually compelling, thought-provoking, and entirely new.

From sculpted assemblage to mixed media, collage, fiber, metal, plastics, paper, wood, and beyond, we welcome works that breathe new life into old materials. Whether your piece is made entirely from recycled elements or powerfully incorporates them as a significant component, we want to showcase how artists turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Theme Inspiration

Think resourcefulness, reinvention, environmental consciousness, and artistic innovation. Surprise us with how you take what once was—and Make It New Again.

Featuring Big Daddy Kane, Tone Loc, Steve Earle and Reckless Kelly
Thursday, March 26 | 7 p.m. (Doors at 5:30 p.m.)
FREE and exlusive for Richmond Flying Squirrels Season Members

CarMax Park will host Taking Flight Festival presented by 804Live, the first concert at the new multi-use entertainment venue, on Thursday, March 26, featuring Big Daddy Kane, Tone Loc, Steve Earle and Reckless Kelly.

Tickets for the concert will be distributed exclusively to Richmond Flying Squirrels Season Membership Holders. Information about Flying Squirrels Season Memberships is available at SquirrelsBaseball.com.

The concert will begin at 7 p.m. on March 26. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.

“We couldn’t be more excited to officially open CarMax Park with the Taking Flight Festival and welcome fans to experience this incredible new venue for the first time,” said Lou DiBella, Managing General Partner of the Richmond Flying Squirrels. “This concert is just the beginning of what CarMax Park will bring to the Richmond community, and we’re especially thrilled to offer this exclusive opportunity to our Season Membership Holders. Events like this are one of the many ways CarMax Park will deliver unforgettable experiences to Richmond.”

Big Daddy Kane is a GRAMMY Award-winning rapper and actor who started his career in 1986 as a member of the rap group the Juice Crew. A Brooklyn, New York M.C. who undisputedly defined the term “lyricist” in the world of hip-hop by introducing a lyrical ingenuity to a genre that had not yet been heard before, Big Daddy Kane proved that he was not only a dynamic M.C., but demonstrated his appeal by combining innovative live performances with choreography, theatrics and a tailored look that have become his trademarks. BDK revolutionized hip-hop fashion and the way hip-hop shows were and are performed.

Tone Loc soared from obscurity into pop stardom in 1989 when his hoarse voice and unmistakable delivery made the song "Wild Thing" (using a sample from Van Halen's "Jamie's Cryin'") a massive hit winning GRAMMYs and countless other awards. The song “Wild Thing” was co-written by Marvin Young, better known as Young MC, as was the second single smash, "Funky Cold Medina." The album "Loc-ed After Dark" became the second rap release ever to top the pop charts and one of the most popular of all time.

Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protege of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, he quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, The Pretenders and countless others. 1986 saw the release of his record, “Guitar Town,” which shot to number one on the country charts and is now regarded as a classic of the Americana genre. Subsequent releases like “The Revolution Starts...Now” (2004), “Washington Square Serenade” (2007) and “TOWNES” (2009) received GRAMMY Awards.

Reckless Kelly has tied Austin rock and cowboy poetry together seamlessly for more than 25 years, evolving from a barnstorming Idaho outfit into a coast-to-coast torchbearer for independent Americana. Over more than two decades, the band has released 10 studio albums and two live albums, toured internationally, and established the annual Braun Brothers Reunion festival as a three-day cultural bellwether for Challis, Idaho. Perhaps most importantly, they have earned the enduring respect of their musical peers across the Texas, Red Dirt, and wider Americana landscapes.

Presented by the Virginia Museum of History & Culture and the Center for Cultural Vibrancy, join us for a celebration of the richness of artistic traditions brought to Virginia by recent immigrants and refugees.

Experience music, dance, food, visual arts, and ceremonies performed by master artists from around the world now living in the Commonwealth; traditions that were born and nurtured over centuries in places like Mongolia, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Bolivia, Guatemala, and Cambodia; and that are now thriving here. The power and extraordinary range of cultural traditions that immigrants and refugees bring with them, enriching the Commonwealth in many ways, will be on full display.

Profs and Pints Richmond presents: “Cinderella’s Story,” on the origins and evolution of a fairytale heroine and cultural icon, with Kitty Maynard, former professor of French at Washington College, director of the Faculty Hub at the University of Richmond, and scholar of early modern France.

Cinderella is arguably the most famous fairy tale of our time, its elements feeling so familiar that they seem to express universal experiences and human values. But while Cinderella might seem timeless, the version of her known to us today has a very specific origin in seventeenth-century France and the political climate of that time. Moreover, she has changed dramatically over the centuries to appeal to new audiences.

Get to know the plucky young heroine whose tale has become part of our everyday culture and language by coming to Profs and Pints at Triple Crossing-Fulton, where lifelong learners have a ball.

Dr. Kitty Maynard will take us back to the court of Louis XIV, where courtier Charles Perrault wrote Cinderella in 1697 to offer real lessons to a real audience consisting of fellow courtiers rather than children. You’ll learn how French society at that time had a particular version of social mobility in which its aristocratic structure allowed the advancement of meritorious and industrious male members of the bourgeoisie but limited female agency to marriage.

We’ll look at how one of Perrault's contemporaries, Madame d'Aulnoy, came up with a very different take on a Cinderella story, in which Cinderella found her man and symbolically proposed to him. We’ll touch upon the Brothers Grimm's dark version of the tale and discuss how Cinderella has been pliable enough to stretch into other eras because basic tropes in her story appeal to our love of underdogs and sense of justice.

When Walt Disney brought Cinderella to the screen in 1950, he transformed Perrault’s version dramatically to reflect the ideals and expectations of a postwar American audience and the ethos of the American Dream. You’ll get to know the Disneyfied version of her, as well as those in Dina Goldstein's “Fallen Princesses” photo series and in a smattering of recent remakes of Cinderella such as Ever After, the live-action Cinderella, and comedic takes like Cinderfella.

Among the questions Dr. Maynard will tackle: Where does Cinderella really come from? And what makes her story so compelling to us today?

Don’t worry. The talk will end long before midnight. (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.)

Historical mystery lovers, this is for you! Rob will be chatting with Fountain Friend John Copenhaver in the store about his latest mystery.

About the Book:

Chicago, 1898. In the midst of the Progressive Era, twenty-one-year-old junior detective Harriet Morrow is determined to prove she’s more than a lucky hire as the Prescott Agency’s first woman operative. But her latest challenge—a murder case steeped in scandal—could become a deadly setback . . .

     As the Windy City thaws from a harsh winter, Harriet Morrow finds herself doubting her investigative skills when she’s assigned to solve a high-stakes murder case well above her pay grade. And there’s also a catch. Harriet must somehow blend in as an “unremarkable” young woman—one who feels confident in skirts, not men’s clothing—on a quest to infiltrate the immigrant community at the center of the grisly crime . . .

     The mystery has more twists and turns than her morning bike commute, with a muckraker found murdered in a southside tenement building after obtaining evidence of a powerful politician’s corruption. While Harriet gains the trust of the tenement’s women residents to gather clues, the undercover mission reveals an innocent mother might have been framed for the crime—and exposes ties to another violent death . . .    

     Harriet soon realizes she has few allies as new dangers explode around her. Enlisting the help of Matthew McCabe, her only true confidante at the agency, and growing more protective of her budding relationship with the lovely Barbara Wozniak, Harriet will need to survive rising threats to assert her place in a world that’s quick to dismiss her—and out a killer who’s always one step ahead . . .

Fountain Friend John returns for an informal meet and greet to share his newest, Scorched Earth! We'll have copies of his books for sale and signing, and you can chat with him at the store.

Registration is NOT required but you can use this ticket to pre-order a book to have available for pickup at the meet and greet.

About the Book:

Vengeance, murder, and violent political games are on a collision course in a propulsive Jonathan Grave thriller by New York Times bestselling author John Gilstrap.

Disgraced U.S. President Darmond has been ousted from office, but his minions have taken aim at everyone they perceive to be enemies. Off-the-record contractors on a secret list are being eliminated, one by one. 

Jonathan Grave and his Security Solutions team manage to turn the tables when the assassins come for them. But the ultimate attack will strike deep at the heart of what’s best about American values.

High-tech weapons, terror-driven fanatics, and top-level betrayal shred the peace of a peaceful gathering in the rolling hills of rural North Carolina. In this showdown, the winner will take all.

We can't wait to launch Danielle Allen's newest romance! She'll be talking with Bailey West at the store.

About the Book:

Jazmyn Payne fled her hometown—and the fatphobes who made her life hell– the minute she graduated high school. Growing up, her haven was her Aunt Addison, and when her health takes a drastic turn, she insists that Jazz should spice up her life. Emphasis on spice.

But dating is the last thing Jazz had on her mind.

Until Lamar Anderson sits next to her at the local sports bar. He is sexy, fun, and refreshingly drama free. With him she's able to pretend that everything is alright. But as real life intrudes, Jazz has to decide if she can leave the past where it belongs… for a love that she deserves.
