Studio Two Three-Richmond, VA

Richmond might be my favorite out of the few cities that I've visited so far. What stood out most were the hundreds of murals brightly painted on the sides of buildings on just about every block. Overall, it seems like a really fun place to live with lots of art making its way into the city. On the northwest side of town is a non-profit community print shop called Studio Two Three. Directed by Ashley Hawkins, the studio offers a variety of services to local artists such as residencies, classes, internships, as well as a black and white darkroom for photography and digital studio lab. S23 provides the facilities to complete print projects in silkscreen, relief, etching, and photo lithography with a variety of presses and huge table top work areas. What's extra cool though, is the second level mezzanine which contains about 15 semi-private studios that overlook the main studio space down below and the fact that resident artists have 24/7 access to the studio.

Also, special thanks to Kat, one of the resident artists, for showing me around!
