TOGETHER APART: PARTICIPATORY ART INSTALLATION ON BROWN’S ISLAND
A new and exciting addition to this year’s festival is an interactive art installation on Brown’s Island, by artist Kevin Orlosky. Public participation is encouraged! The artwork will manifest as a massive stone labyrinth that when viewed from above reveals a hand. Become a part of the sculpture and paint a rock that represents something you miss, mourn, or are excited to experience again after the period of social distancing ends. Place your rock on the black fabric inside the contours of the rock perimeter. The public installation will take place from October 4-16 on Brown’s Island. More information can be found on our website.
OFFICIAL FESTIVAL BEER, HAZY FOLK
The official Richmond Folk Festival beer, Hazy Folk, our collaborative effort with AleWerks Brewing Company, is now available at select retailers throughout the state! This New England-style IPA greets you with aromas of ripe peaches, grapefruit and tangerines on the nose. Notes of tropical fruit and slightly citrusy pine take center stage with your first sip. The addition of oats and wheat to a light and crisp pilsen malt base yields a velvety mouthfeel. Grab a 4-pack while you can! Learn more about Hazy Folk and where you can purchase it on our website.
