“We The People: The World in Our Commonwealth”

“We The People: The World in Our Commonwealth”

  • Virginia Museum of History & Culture (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

About the Exhibition
Stories of opportunity, community and resilience are brought to life at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture (VMHC) in “We The People: The World in Our Commonwealth,” an exhibition that brings together more than 100 voices speaking to distinct perspectives on the immigrant experience of Virginians. A signature component of the Museum’s multi-year slate of exhibitions, programs and activations commemorating the 250th anniversary of America, “We The People” presents the deeply personal narratives of individuals born in 68 countries who sought freedom, opportunity and refuge by immigrating to the United States.

One of the leading catalysts for semiquincentennial commemorations in Virginia and beyond, VMHC has played a key role in shaping the Commonwealth’s 250th anniversary efforts. The Museum was among the first institutions to convene statewide history leaders and encouraged Virginia’s General Assembly to found the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250). In July 2023, VMHC announced a comprehensive program for the anniversary, including two marquee exhibitions, “We The People: The World in Our Commonwealth” and “Give Me Liberty: Virginia & The Forging of a Nation,” which opened in March 2025 as the first major exhibition in the nation to mark the milestone anniversary.

Accompanying programs
March 28: Commonwealth Crossroads: A Celebration of Virginia's Immigrant Traditions

  • Celebrating the richness of artistic traditions brought to Virginia by recent immigrants and refugees, this showcase event includes music, dance, food, visual arts and ceremonies performed by master artists from around the world now living in the Commonwealth. The traditions featured were born and nurtured over centuries in places like Mongolia, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Bolivia, Guatemala and Cambodia; and that are now thriving here.

  • Artists and groups include Señora Julia Garcia (Quechua welcoming ceremony), the Nguyen Family Band (music from Vietnam), Gankhuyag (GanNa) Natsag (Tsam Buddhist masks), Ubaldo Sanchez (Alfombra), Tradiciones Bolivianos (Bolivian dancing), Sochietah Ung (Cambodian dance and costumes) and Lemlem Gebray and her twin daughters Datta and Akeza Seyoum (Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony).

·       April 12: Latinx Fashion Show

  • Latinx Fashion Show (LFS) VCU hosts their annual fashion show celebrating Latinx designers and the power of visibility, resilience and community. This year's theme, orchids, represents reblooming after damage as well as strength and perseverance in unstable conditions. An artist discussion, moderated by local Virginia designer, Jennifer Ortiz,
    follows the show.

Sunrise Science - Musical Moods

Join Richmond-based musician, composer and cultural explorer Prabir Mehta as he dives into the fascinating intersection of science and music. With a mix of live music, psychology and personal experience, this event will explore the physics of sound—what makes notes different from one another, how vibrations shape tone and frequency and how music connects with human emotions. To put all these variables into context, Mehta will guide audiences through the ancient system of Indian raags, not simply as musical scales, but as a profound framework for organizing experience.

Sunrise Science begins at 8 a.m. Doors open at 7:30 a.m. so you can grab a complimentary cup of coffee or tea to enjoy during the talk. Each presentation includes time for audience questions at the end. The event will conclude by 9 a.m. so you can continue on with your day, but with a little extra science to fill your cup of knowledge!

Sunrise Science events are free. Tickets are capped due to fixed seating in The Dome. Guests will be asked to fill all available seats.

The Beckett Effect with Nashae Jones
May
5
6:00 PM18:00

The Beckett Effect with Nashae Jones

Local favorite Nashae Jones is back with her first Young Adult book! We've loved her previous Middle Grade novels, so we can't wait for her and Andi to talk in-store about her newest book!

Pre-order the book by Monday, May 4th, and get a signed, personalized copy, stickers, and indie-exclusive art!


About the Book:

A girl pledges revenge on her school’s playboy—only to start falling for him—in this hilarious teen rom-com perfect for fans of classics like John Tucker Must Die and Clueless.


There’s no one Wren hates more than Beckett Lane.


Girls love Beckett because of his famous dad, and Beckett revels in the unearned attention. It seems like everyone except Wren is susceptible to the Beckett Effect—the phenomenon that makes people, most of all teen girls, fall for him despite his glaring red flags. Unfortunately for Wren, her sister, Kennedy, is vulnerable to Beckett’s charms, and she has a huge, misguided crush on him.


When Beckett humiliates Kennedy at a party in front of the entire school, Wren swears to bring him down once and for all. And what better way to expose him than by using her passion for filmmaking to create a documentary showing just how terrible he really is?


But as Wren cozies up to Beckett to get (hopefully damning) inside information, she starts to wonder if the line between love and hate is as clear as she thought…


About the Author:

Nashae Jones is a kid lit writer because at an early age she learned what the magic of books could do for a developing mind. She always dreamed of creating worlds that would stay for a reader long after they put down their books. Nashae is also an educator and book reviewer (kid books, of course). She lives in Virginia with her husband, daughter, son, escape artist Husky, and two black cats that Nashae is convinced are reincarnations of Pinky and the Brain. You can find her on X @Jones_Nashae.


Andi escaped the corporate world and found her dream job of managing an indie bookstore in 2018. She's born and raised in RVA and reads just about anything, with particular favorites being Twisteries, YA, horror, and most any contemporary fiction. When she's not reading she can be found playing pinball and relaxing with her husband, her cats, and a nice cold local beer in her speakeasy home.

India's Great Mughals: Art, Power, and Opulenc
May
9
to Aug 23

India's Great Mughals: Art, Power, and Opulenc

Immerse yourself in the golden age of the Mughal Empire. India's Great Mughals: Art, Power, and Opulence celebrates the glorious artistic achievements and grandeur of one of history's great empires.  

India's Great Mughals includes 200 sumptuous objects—intricate paintings and manuscripts, lavish textiles, architectural elements, metalwork, furniture, arms and armor, dazzling precious stones, and more. Opulent works of art—many made in the imperial workshops—convey the power and tastes of the three most celebrated Mughal emperors: Akbar (r. 1556–1605), Jahangir (r. 1605–27), and Shah Jahan (r. 1628–58). From the tiniest jeweled objects to the monumental wonder of the Taj Mahal, this highly sophisticated and globally connected empire produced treasures of unparalleled splendor and magnificence.  

The extraordinary creative output of the imperial ateliers conveyed the Mughals’ great wealth and power. In addition to glorifying the emperors, these diverse artistic productions also signaled worldliness. Descendants of a Central Asian prince, these cosmopolitan emperors presided over a multicultural court that fused Indian and Iranian cultures and regarded the empire's array of languages and religions with great interest. Most notably, they encouraged artistic exchange with Europe, China, Africa, and the Americas, and elevated the importance of cultural and artistic pursuits to new heights. 

India's Great Mughals: Art, Power, and Opulence is organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum. The coordinating curator for VMFA is Dr. John Henry Rice, E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art.

Learn to make fuxicos! The FUXICO Project is an ongoing social practice project spearheaded by artist Davi Leventhal. The practice of making fuxicos (foo-SHEEH-kohs) comes from the Northeast of Brazil, but you have probably seen them before. These fabric flowers are used to embellish everyday items like blankets, pillow cases, and pot holders, but have also appeared on fashion runways. Materials will be provided.

The goal of the project is to engage and enliven communities while sharing the fuxico tradition with the world. For us, each fuxico made through the project represents a connection made and a community strengthened.

The Impossible Garden of Clara Thorne with Summer N England
May
9
6:00 PM18:00

The Impossible Garden of Clara Thorne with Summer N England

Come cozy up with us to hear Summer N England chat about her debut novel with Julia of Julia Curated!


About the Book:

After a lonely childhood, Clara Thorne is living out her happy ending as the magically gifted gardener for the town of Moss. Sure, her closest companion is a surly hedgehog, and she’s forever stuck on the first line of her novel, but she has a home. That is, until The Goddess chooses Clara for an important quest—travel to the cursed town of Dwindle and grow them a garden. In less than a month.

 

Only Clara’s hiding a terrible secret: her magic doesn’t work outside Moss. Worse, The Goddess has assigned the absurdly sexy, annoyingly cheerful Hesper Altanfall to keep her safe. Clara would rather eat thorns than accept help—especially since Hesper insists that Clara’s magic is bound to her heart, not her home.

 

Nevertheless, the two can’t help growing closer as they traverse enchanted woods and share tavern beds. But with an ancient evil threatening from the shadows, saving Dwindle will require more than enchanted crops. Clara will need to unearth a magic she’s always believed impossible.


About the Author:

Summer N. England is indeed her real name (and yes, you are allowed to poke fun at her about this). She holds not one, nay, two degrees in Shakespeare and Performance and is currently an actress, music director, and digital content creator. 


When not blabbering on stage and writing off stage, Summer can be found doing quite literally 17,000 different ADHD-motivated projects around her house, water-coloring, playing the decidedly evil pirate to her kid’s morally gray pirate, reading whilst walking, and not sitting still while watching When Harry Met Sally for the 6th time in one day. 


Julia, creator of @juliacurated, is a Virginia-based content creator and home storyteller known for her warm, narrative-driven approach to design, renovation, and daily life. Through her work online and on Substack, she explores the idea that our homes are meant to be lived in—not perfected—and that beauty is often found in the small, meaningful details. Most often, she can be found covered head to toe in dirt in her garden, fussing here and there. She might enjoy a clean kitchen, but she loves a dirty book.

The Cupid Dilemma with April Asher
May

The Cupid Dilemma with April Asher

April was such a hit last year, we're bringing her back for the newest book! She'll be chatting with returning friend Tif Marcelo at the store.


About the Book:

A lover of love and a champion for happily ever after. Those are two of many things people expect from Aphrodite’s daughter. To Adalyn Whitlock, ‘love’ pays the bills, and currently, not well. Business is dropping at Happily Ever Forever, with her latest wedding planning catastrophe ending in a negative social media storm and her sister Maxi’s matchmaking ability on the fritz. To top it off, there’s an ex-boyfriend calling her ‘the Anti-Aphrodite’ and paparazzi pics linking Addie to her new client’s older brother.


Phoenix "Nix" Cross—songwriter and drummer for the hot new band, The Stone Talons—is no saint, but he's far from the womanizer the band’s image rep bestowed on him. If anything, Nix is a romantic, hopeful he'll find a love like the one his parents share. With the band’s star quickly rising and the record label pressuring him to deliver their next hit, Nix’s writer’s block couldn’t have come at a worse time. But when he opens his door to his irate new next-door neighbor, Nix feels the brief flash of inspiration for the first time in ages. And it just so happens that his new Muse is none other than his little sister’s new wedding planner.


With Addie needing an end to her public-relations nightmare and the record label breathing down Nix’s neck, the pair agree to a fauxmance. But what happens when the emotions turned on for the cameras don't turn off?


About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling Author APRIL ASHER was hooked on romantic stories from the time she first snuck a bodice-ripper from her mom's bedside table. By day, April dons dark blue nursing scrubs and drinks way too much caffeine. By night, she still consumes too much caffeine, but she does it with a laptop in hand. She pens rom-coms with a paranormal twist, but also writes high-octane romantic suspense as April Hunt. She lives out her own happily-ever-after in Virginia with her college-sweetheart husband and their two children.


Tif Marcelo is a veteran US Army nurse and holds a BS in Nursing and a Master’s in public administration. She believes and writes about the strength of families, the endurance of friendship, and heartfelt romances. She hosts The Stories to Love Podcast, and is the USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance, contemporary fiction, and young adult books. She and her books have been featured in The Today Show, Shondaland, Real Simple Magazine, The Asian Journal and more!

Lace Up for Firearm Safety Virtual 5K
Jun
1
to Jun 7

Lace Up for Firearm Safety Virtual 5K

Every step helps raise awareness about safe firearm storage and preventing children’s access to firearms.

Join us June 1-7 by walking, running, or participating from anywhere while supporting efforts to keep children and families safe.

How It Works

  1. Register for the virtual 5K with a $20 donation.

  2. Create a fundraiser page and invite your family, friends and colleagues to support your miles.

  3. Lace up your shoes for a 5k (3.1 miles) anytime between June 1-7. You have two ways to move: 

    • In-Person:  Join our Community Walk at  Deep Run Park in Henrico, VA  on Saturday, June 6th  from 9am-12pm.

    • Virtually:  Complete your miles anywhere – your neighborhood, a local trail, or even a treadmill! 

  4. Wear orange and share your photos, tagging @vachildcare to spread the message. Post your photos on social media using #LaceUp4FirearmSafety to show Virginia that safe storage saves lives. 

Why We Lace Up

Firearms are a leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States. By raising awareness about safe storage and responsible firearm practices, we can help prevent tragedies and keep children safe.

Your contribution does more than just sign you up for a 5k – you’re joining the mission to raise awareness and provide life-saving tools and information directly into the hands of Virginia families. Every registration includes:

  • A donation to Child Care Aware of Virginia

  • A high-quality firearm lock and educational materials provided to a Virginia caregiver 

  • Individual fundraising page to share your story and why firearm safety matters to you

Family-Friendly Reminder: Children being pushed in a stroller are welcome and do not need to be registered. We encourage families to participate together!

Frozen Treats, Live Beats

  • W Broad St & N Adams St, Richmond, VA 23220 Richmond, VA 23219 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Take a break from the workday and enjoy live music and frozen treats in Downtown Richmond with Venture Richmond’s new lunchtime pop-up series, Frozen Treats, Live Beats.

This free pop-up series brings eight live music performances to different locations throughout Downtown Richmond and Manchester, making it easy to step away from the desk, meet up with coworkers, and enjoy a little live music during the lunch hour.

The series takes place on select Thursdays from 12:00–1:00 PM.

The first 100 attendees at each event will receive a free frozen treat. Most locations will feature Richmond favorite Gelati Celesti, serving a complimentary scoop of their handcrafted ice cream. The May 7 pop-up will feature a free sweet treat from Daisy's.

After the first 100 treats are claimed, additional frozen treats will be available for purchase.

June 11: Richmond’s Kenneka Cook musically bridges the gap between beat-driven sonics and melodic jazz.

Cook's early training took place in her church choir and school chorus. Her tastes eventually shifted towards heavyweights like Billie Holiday, Erykah Badu, and The Cardigans, informing her confidently playful, harmony-heavy, atmospheric style. Initially she was making acapella songs with a microphone and laptop during the end of her college career out of necessity, describing her voice as "the only instrument I truly had access to" at the time. She discovered the process of live looping through Reggie Watts, who sometimes uses looping techniques in the songs found in his comedy acts. She is currently working on second project, a follow-up to her 2018 debut LP “Moonchild”.

Profs &amp; Pints Richmond: Nightmares and Creativity
Apr

Profs & Pints Richmond: Nightmares and Creativity

Profs and Pints Richmond presents: “Nightmares and Creativity,” on the relationship between frightening dreams and real creative achievements, with Bernard Welt, emeritus professor of arts and humanities at George Washington University, former member of the board of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, and contributing editor of DreamTime.

Nightmares are associated with creativity—but how, exactly? Why do so many famous accounts of genius in the arts and sciences originate with a frightening dream?

Explore such questions with the help of Bernard Welt, who has taught courses on recalling dreams and dream journaling and written extensively on the relationship between dreaming and the arts.

Using excerpts from texts, illustrations of artworks, and clips from classic films derived from nightmares, Professor Welt will look at the relationship between bad dreams and celebrated innovations and creative accomplishments. 

You’ll learn why psychologists consider the nightmare to be a key to understanding the creative power of the unconscious mind. We’ll consider sleep scientists’ definitions of the nightmare, asking why it still remains controversial, and explore contemporary theories about the relationship between nightmares and creativity from psychoanalysis, Jungian archetypal theory, evolutionary psychology, and other sources. 

Though dreams have special authority in many cultures, in the western world it’s only among the nineteenth-century Romantics that we began to see personal accounts of creativity inspired by dreams—curiously, preponderantly bad ones. We’ll look at how Frankenstein arose from Mary Shelley’s famous dream of a scientist confronted by his own fearful creation, and how art’s Surrealist movement taught us to value our nightmares.

You’ll learn how dreams of all kinds can result in sudden inspiration because they relax inhibitions, transcend habitual trains of thought, and permit ideas that would be rejected by the thought processes of waking life. You’ll even come to see why we may welcome our nightmares as opportunities to expand our vision and our understanding. (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.)

Our Rogue Fates with Sarah Glenn Marsh

Our Rogue Fates with Sarah Glenn Marsh

Fountain Friend Sarah Glenn Marsh is back! She'll be talking with Sara Raasch about her newest, Our Rogue Fates, in the store!


About the Book:

On the hunt for hidden treasure, two former best friends turned adversaries must put the past behind them if they hope to make it home.


When he isn’t training as a Warden to become half the hero his father was, Griff Sayer is in the business of breaking hearts all across the town of Mayfair, although that slows down after settling in with his current boyfriend. Griff’s ex-best-friend, Mal Pryce, meanwhile, is in business with whatever or whoever puts good money in his hands. Now in their mid-20s, Griff and Mal have only exchanged scathing looks and carefully barbed jabs since the fight that sent them their separate ways years ago. But all that begins to change when an attack Mal plotted for his shady boss leaves Griff near death and their childhood friend Alys is his savior, forcing them back into each other’s orbit.


Livid at his boss, Mal makes a deal to earn his freedom and Griff’s safety. He has just four weeks to retrieve an ancient treasure from Rotrose Mire, a remote swamp known for its ghostly and beastly dangers, the same treasure Alys’s beloved father Rhun had been searching for when he disappeared for good. Armed with a map and a broken blade of Rhun’s, Mal sets off—with Alys and a reluctant and newly single Griff in tow.


Yet the explosive tension between the two men—along with the dangers of the mire pressing in around them—make for a more difficult journey than any of them could have anticipated. As Griff and Mal peel back their tough facades, and shared feelings heat up in unexpected ways as they learn to trust again, they also realize that someone—or something—seems to be following their path. Someone who doesn’t want them to succeed, no friend to their parents’ old enemies, but also no friend to would-be heroes…


Our Rogue Fates is a second-chance spicy Achillean romance with the questing spirit of Dungeons & Dragons, perfect for fans of Critical Role.


About the Author:

Sarah Glenn Marsh has been an avid fantasy reader since the day her dad handed her a copy of The Hobbit and promised it would change her life. She believes we all deserve happy endings and is an author of books for everyone, including many young adult, middle grade, and picture book titles. She lives in Richmond, Virginia with her family, including one sweet daughter, one slightly dull sword, and the chaos of many pets, like a turtle named Muffin who she definitely did not bring back from any haunted swamp. Rogues is her first adult novel.



Sara Raasch has known she was destined for bookish things since the age of five, when her friends had a lemonade stand and she tagged along to sell her hand-drawn picture books too. Not much has changed since then — her friends still cock concerned eyebrows when she attempts to draw things and her enthusiasm for the written word still drives her to extreme measures. 

She is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of multiple books for teens, including the historical romantasy duology open_in_newWITCH AND HUNTER, cowritten with Beth Revis; as well as romances for adults.  None of her books feature her hand-drawn pictures.
