“It is not down in any map; true places never are.” ― Herman Melville
True Places is an experiential art initiative designed to inspire the exploration and celebration of our most authentic outdoor places in Richmond, Virginia. To begin, we challenged four local artists to depict their true place in a piece of art that highlights destinations not commonly found on a map or along a well-worn path. The result – the first in a series of fine art prints that honor places in the great outdoors that speak to our community’s ability to push further, explore deeper, reflect, and to learn along the way. We debuted our creations at “Isle of Art,” Richmond’s first art opening on an island and have more interactive events planned.
