You’re invited to participate in a public-art storytelling project. Artist Hamilton Glass will lead this annual community collaboration as part of RVA Community Makers 2026. This year’s Open Studio project will answer the prompt, “On whose shoulders do you stand?" and is inspired by the exhibition Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys. 

Hands-on opportunities will include using media such as colorful ribbons, words, drawings, or photos as expressions of an inspiring person or story.

This artmaking project will later be on view alongside Glass’s own creation that weaves together the stories and passions of honorees celebrated in RVA Community Makers 2026.
