Behind the Scenes of Richmond's Arts | Richmond News

Photographer Miranda Jean turned her love for Richmond’s underground arts scene into a vibrant community project: the Richmond Chronicle, a yearly printed yearbook celebrating the unsung heroes behind the city’s creative energy. Starting with music, it now spans theater, comedy, and more, featuring portraits and artist submissions captured during free, neighborhood-based sessions. Jean’s favorite part? Connecting with people—whether they’re striking prom poses, bringing pets, or proudly declaring themselves “Breakfast Enthusiasts.” The Chronicle has become a catalyst for collaboration and recognition, inspiring Jean to open Glass Eye Studios in Jackson Ward—a dedicated space for portraits, exhibitions, and community support. It’s more than a publication; it’s a living portrait of Richmond’s ever-evolving artistic soul. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
