The RVA Street Art Festival artists are working down at the abandoned Alcoa Plant on the flood wall starting today. Mark Jenkins painted a giant target and is building the human darts to go with it. POSE, El Kamino, Chris Milk, HAM, and Broth were just starting their pieces. Ed Trask was carting around materials and chatting it up. Nick Kuszyk and Brad Bacon were at The Canal Club and well into an immense mural. HENSE and Jeff Soto were on the way to start today. More updates to come tomorrow.
There is a panel discussion at the VMFA with a few of the artists tonight. Make sure to check The RVA Street Art for all the information.
For those that don't know, the Alcoa Plant can be found by following Virginia Street past Epic Theatre aka Hat Factory around the bend. It opens up to the flood wall and the plant is to your left. We are sure there are other ways to that spot but this is the only one we remember.
