RICHMOND, Va. — Mayor Danny Avula has called supporting the city’s arts and culture sector a priority for his administration. Now he’s put together a local advisory group to help him do just that.

“The goal is to make sure that I and our team hear directly from the folks who are driving arts and culture in our city about ways that the city can actually be helpful for them,” Avula told Style Weekly about his new advisory group, which consists of artists, musicians, nonprofit leaders, community figures and representatives from city government.

According to the mayor’s press secretary, Mira Signer, this will be an “informal, boots-on-the-ground group that can advise the mayor on contemporary arts and culture issues, challenges and opportunities.”
