The Power of Poison

to Apr 19

The Power of Poison

  • Science Museum of Virginia (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Sometimes lethal, sometimes lifesaving, always paradoxical. From a defense against predators to a source of magical strength, poison takes on many different forms. You’ll be infected with new-found knowledge when you explore poison’s role in nature, legend, history and human health.

The Power of Poison features theatrical dioramas, interactive modules, engaging media presentations and hands-on experiences. Wander through Colombia’s Chocó Forest, turn the virtual pages of an enchanted book on toxic plants, investigate evidence to solve poisoning mysteries, hear dramatic stories of forensic detection and explore zombie-making animal/plant duos. Separate fascinating facts from fantastical fiction while navigating toxic twists and turns!

In conjunction with “The Power of Poison,” the Science Museum will feature hands-on programming, demonstrations and events throughout the exhibition’s tenure. Guests can build a 3D mushroom in the Art Lab, learn about Virginia’s venomous snakes, collect some tips to identify poisonous plants and take a look at how the compounds plants produce for protection can become the flavors people enjoy — in the right dosage. 

The presence of “The Power of Poison” will make the Science Museum’s annual Science After Dark: Spooky Science (October 17) all the more frighteningly fun. Dr. Michelle Peace will also speak at Sunrise Science (November 7) about the forensic toxicology of diapers, bugs and vapes. More events and experiences will be announced throughout the fall and winter

The Power of Poison is organized by the American Museum of Natural History, New York (amnh.org).

This touring exhibition will be on display October 4—April 19, 2026.

Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys
Nov

to Mar 1

Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys

Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys is coming to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibition from the collection of musical and cultural icons Swizz Beatz (Kassem Dean) and Alicia Keys is expansive and features over 130 works of art by 40 Black artists from Africa, Europe, the United States, and the Caribbean.

Among the artists featured are Derrick Adams, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kwame Brathwaite, Nick Cave, Barkley Hendricks, Arthur Jafa, Titus Kaphar, Esther Mahlangu, Meleko Mokgosi, Odili Donald Odita, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Gordon Parks, Ebony G. Patterson, Deborah Roberts, Jamel Shabazz, Amy Sherald, Mickalene Thomas, and Kehinde Wiley.

These celebrated "giants" are expanding the art canon of greats in a big, bold way. They include legendary photographers, iconic contemporary artists, as well as emerging artists. And among the art on view are monumental works that tower in scale and thought. Giants is also a nod to the collectors' passion for lifting up the human spirit:

"We need to be our most giant selves: to think our most giant thoughts, express ourselves in the biggest way possible, and give ourselves permission to be giants."
—Alicia Keys

As artists who strive to support other artists and collect from the heart, Keys and Beatz are guided by an outward intention that regards their family of acquired works as “by the artist, for the artist, with the people.”

Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys is organized by Kimberli Gant, Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art, and Indira A. Abiskaroon, Curatorial Assistant, Modern and Contemporary Art, Brooklyn Museum. The coordinating curator at VMFA is Valerie Cassel Oliver, the Sydney and Frances Lewis Family Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.

The exhibition is organized by the Brooklyn Museum.

RVA Community Makers 2026


Experience VMFA’s RVA Community Makers 2026 installation. Led by artist Hamilton Glass, this annual public artmaking project celebrates community leaders, beginning with a community unveiling during Black History Month. Glass’s 2026 art installation will depict this year’s honorees in vivid vinyl and latex painted portraits. His work will be on view in the Cochrane Atrium from February 12 through March 29. 

RVA Community Makers 2026 honors three storytellers, community advocates and artists who share the impacts, histories, and voices of an enduring people. They were chosen because they embody and, through their work, celebrate the strength, persistence, culture, and beauty of the Black diaspora. This year’s theme, “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants,” is inspired by the VMFA exhibition Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys 

Now in its eighth year, RVA Community Makers was created by VMFA and Glass, who collaborate with artists, educators, business leaders, historians, community organizers, and others to celebrate individuals or groups for their positive impacts on the greater Richmond community.

Tickets $25 at www.artsglenallen.com or 804-261-ARTS

Ticket Link: https://cacga.na.ticketsearch.com/sales/salesevent/18592

A solo musical tour-de-force starring RTCC Best Actress winner Dorothy “Dee D.” Miller, Hi-Hat Hattie takes place backstage of an old theater where Hattie McDaniel recalls the incredible events of her storied show business life. An important figure in America’s entertainment and race relations, McDaniel broke down Hollywood barriers, including being the first African American woman to sing on radio and the first African American actor to win an Academy Award for her role as Mammy in “Gone with the Wind.” 

Daughter of former slaves, McDaniel battled segregation and racism growing up in the Jim Crow-era. However, she was routinely criticized by many, including the NAACP, for playing subservient roles and blacklisted by studios. The controversy surrounding her career is an important reminder that these issues are never simple. Featuring jazz and blues classics like “St. Louis Blues,” “Danny Boy,” “Can’t Help Lovin Dat Man,” “Amazing Grace” and more!​​​​​​​

The Barefoot Followers of Sweet Potato Grace with Megan Okonsky

The Barefoot Followers of Sweet Potato Grace with Megan Okonsky

Get ready for your first Spring read! Megan and Hayden are going to be chatting quirky fiction and salvation in the store!

About the Book:

Tombstone, Texas, has never seen anything like the barefoot travelers who barrel in one afternoon, looking like they just stepped out of the seventies. They appear right in the middle of Pinky Elizabeth Swear’s eulogy for her beloved rescue cat, Sweet Potato Grace (may she rest in eternal peace and abundance of goat cheese). To be honest, Pinky is relieved at the interruption. She’d planned to use the second half of her eulogy to come out of the closet. Now, she doesn’t have to.

Are the newcomers a circus troupe? Revolutionaries? A sinister cult? While the town grows suspicious and rumor mills churn, Pinky finds herself drawn to the charisma of the barefoot strangers. Perhaps, she starts to think, the wrath of Tombstone is a thing worth risking in order to be true to oneself.

About the Author:

Megan Okonsky is a ghostwriter, novelist, and murder mystery party host. Known for her conversational voice and wit, Okonsky specializes in helping business leaders uncover their “hero’s journey.” As a novelist, she writes about cats and queer joy. Okonsky is a proud member of the Writers’ League of Texas and the Association of Ghostwriters. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her wife and their cat, Funny Business.

Hayden Casey (he/him) is a writer and musician who lives and teaches in Phoenix, AZ. He holds an MFA in Fiction from Arizona State University.

2026 RICHMOND HOME + GARDEN SHOW
Mar

to Mar 8

2026 RICHMOND HOME + GARDEN SHOW

  • Richmond Raceway Complex (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The Richmond Home + Garden Show presented by Woodfin: Your Home Team returns March 6–8, 2026 to the Richmond Raceway Complex, bringing nationally recognized home and garden experts — plus two spring Feature Gardens in full bloom — together with an array of trusted, local exhibitors to help homeowners refresh and reimagine every space in their home — inside and out.

This year’s show features appearances by two fan-favorite HGTV personalities, Chris Lambton, known for his outdoor living and gardening expertise, and Tamara Day, home restoration expert, host of Magnolia Network’s “Bargain Mansions,” and known for her “laid-back luxe” interior design style. Together, they’ll offer practical advice, trend insights, and attainable ideas tailored to real homes and real budgets.

CELEBRITY GUESTS BRING BIG IDEAS FOR INDOORS AND OUTDOORS

Lambton, a longtime HGTV and DIY Network personality, will focus on outdoor living, gardening, and smart ways homeowners can enhance curb appeal and entertaining spaces of any size. He is the host of DIY Network's "Lawn & Order" and "Yard Crashers" as well as HGTV's "Going Yard" and Discovery+'s topiary-themed series "Clipped" (as a judge) with Martha Stewart. FUN FACT: He was also a contestant on ABC's "The Bachelorette" in 2010 during Ali Fedotowsky’s season (ultimately named runner-up).

Lambton will appear on the Fresh Ideas presented by JDS Bath Friday, March 6 at 4PM and Saturday, March 7 at 12PM.

Day, author of the new book, "Laid-Back Luxe: How to Create Aspirational and Attainable Living Spaces,” will bring her signature design philosophy to the show and insights on updating interiors while maintaining character — especially relevant for Richmond’s historic homes. Her sessions will explore interior design trends, bargain DIY upgrades, and how to blend comfort, glam, and family-friendly living.

Day will appear on the Fresh Ideas Stage presented by JDS Bath Saturday, March 7 at 3PM and Sunday, March 8 at 1PM.

SPRING FEATURE GARDENS BY SCHULTZ LAWNSCAPES AND ASHLAND BERRY FARM

This year’s show will include TWO walk-through, spring Feature Gardens – one from Schultz Lawnscapes (offices in Richmond and Hampton Roads) and Ashland Berry Farm (Hanover County), both presenting designs that will inspire homeowners to envision and kickstart their dream outdoor gathering space.

TRUSTED LOCAL EXHIBITORS, ALL UNDER ONE ROOF

Beyond the celebrity guests, the Richmond Home + Garden Show is a one-stop destination for homeowners looking to tackle projects big and small. From construction and renovation to flooring, heating and cooling, roofing, windows and doors, pools, kitchens, baths, home décor, and smart home tech, the show features a wide range of Richmond-based exhibitors ready to help turn ideas into reality.

Other show features include Woodfin: Your Home Team, who will highlight smart home upgrades and energy-efficient systems just in time to prepare for RVA’s summer season. Adding a family-friendly and eco-conscious highlight, RVA Goats & Honey will bring its famous brush-, weed-, and invasive species-clearing goats to the show, showcasing their sustainable approach to land management that has popped up everywhere from parks and campuses to breweries and cemeteries across Richmond.

Attendees can also explore themed areas throughout the show, including Building 4, dedicated entirely to outdoor living, the Fresh Ideas Stage presented by JDS Bath, and New Product Spotlights. Visitors can relax at the Coffee & Music Lounge, featuring live performances by local musicians and coffee from Coalesce Coffee, or browse The Marketplace in Building 3 for unique local finds for the home.

Whether you’re planning a major renovation, refreshing your kitchen, or simply looking for inspiration, the Richmond Home + Garden Show offers ideas and trusted local experts —all under one roof.

ABOUT THE RICHMOND HOME + GARDEN SHOW

The Richmond Home + Garden Show presented by Woodfin: Your Home Team at the Richmond Raceway Complex is March 6 -8, 2026, and features more than 250 home improvement and landscape design experts.

Where you lead, we will follow - to a Gilmore Girls themed book and trivia event! Kristine Eckart and Laura Marr will be talking about their Collab, Meet Me At Luke's and leading a trivia round for some fun prizes! (No, Andi is not allowed to compete).


Come in teams of 2-4 people or show up solo to be paired with someone! Please register each person separately so we can plan accordingly.


About the Book:

From music and movies to love and friendship, Gilmore Girls taught us all so much throughout the years. Now, take a walk down Stars Hollow’s memory lane and reflect on the show’s profound impact with author Kristine Eckart, founder of The Gilmore Book Club, in this beautifully illustrated companion to the beloved show.

 

In Meet Me at Luke’s, you can expect to find a treasure trove of insights, anecdotes, and life lessons drawn from the show's rich tapestry of relationships, small-town charm, and the enduring bond between a mother and daughter. As Eckart traverses the characters' lives and loves, she also explores how their world can enrich our own.


Meet Me at Luke’s not only provides a chance to relive your favorite moments but also invites you to delve deeper into the show's enduring appeal. It offers a space for reflection, sparking conversations about how the lessons learned in Stars Hollow can be applied to our own lives. Using events from all seven seasons, Eckart will delve into discovering our purpose, creating a home, finding love, and so much more.


About the Speakers:

Kristine Eckart is a writer, pop culture aficionado, and diehard bibliophile who is passionate about using literature and pop culture to change lives. When she’s not binge-watching TV or penning her next masterpiece, she shares her bookish passions on her blog, social media, podcasts, and by hosting book clubs. Always a city girl at heart, Kristine lives in New York City with her fluffy feline reading buddy, Cleo. You can find Kristine on Instagram @gilmorebookclub and online at open_in_newGilmorebookclub.com.

SUE FOLEY is an acclaimed guitarist, singer/songwriter and writer who began her professional career in her teens. She’s released thirteen albums and has garnered several awards, including Traditional Female Artist of the Year at The Blues Music Awards in Memphis five consecutive times. (2020/22/23/24/25).

“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

  • An installation of Alfombra by internationally acclaimed artist Ubaldo Sanchez. Alfombra is a tradition native to the highlands of Guatemala in which colored rice, dried beans, sawdust, flowers, and other materials are arranged to create intricately designed carpets expressing spiritual themes. Marimba Maya AWAL will perform music with roots in ancient Mayan culture, featuring handmade gourd and double keyboard Marimbas, turtle shell, and traditional wooden drums. 

  • Dance traditions from the Andes of Bolivia including Suri-Sikuri, an “ostrich dance” with elaborate feather crowns and the music of handmade Zamponas (pan-pipes); and Tinkus, a dance simulating combat in which the dancers draw energy from Mother Earth (Pachamama); performed by the Northern Virginia-based Tradiciones Bolivianos.

The Case of the Murdered Muckraker with Rob Osler

The Case of the Murdered Muckraker with Rob Osler

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 . . .

Stay on the trolley for as long as you want, participate if you feel inspired, and then hop off when you’re ready to explore more of the Arts District.

Why should I hop on the First Friday Art Trolley?

This is your opportunity to discover more of Downtown Richmond! The Arts District—stretching along historic Broad Street—is bursting with galleries, live entertainment, cultural landmarks, restaurants, and shops that fuel the city’s creative heartbeat. Each month, the trolley spotlights a different organization shaping Richmond’s vibrant arts and culture scene, giving you a fresh reason to ride, explore, and celebrate the city in motion.

Where can I get on the First Friday Art Trolley?

The trolley makes the loop about every 25 minutes. You can hop on or off at any of the stops and see what they’re doing for First Fridays!

The trolley will make the final loop between 7:30 – 8:00 p.m. and we encourage passengers to get off at their preferred stop during this time.

If you are interested in parking at the 6th and Broad Street parking lot and hopping on the trolley, we anticipate the first pickup time to be around 6:00 p.m. and the last drop-off time to be at 8:00 p.m.
