RICHMOND, Va. — The Valentine Museum in Richmond will host a special open house this weekend to honor the life and legacy of former director Bill Martin, who died after being hit by a driver in December.

The free memorial event will feature live printing and memory-collecting activities with pieces inspired by Martin's legacy. Unlocking RVA will also record a video diary of personal reflections during the gathering.

"This gathering will offer an opportunity to come together, share memories and reflect on Bill’s life and work. Thank you for your continued support and for holding Bill’s legacy with such care," the museum wrote on social media previously.

The open house is scheduled for noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Valentine Museum on East Clay Street.
