While this video is not specifically about art itself, I feel like the message of an emphasis on local interaction can and does also apply to art. I see this especially in installation art, which has been one of Richmond’s iconic symbols over the last few years. Richmond is a small enough city that if you see something, you very well may know who made it, and the ability to see art (like murals) all over the city on such a large scale and know who made it and what their process was gives you a very special connection with it you would not feel otherwise. A secondary point of value for local art is that the viewer feels like the art is for the city, rather than just happening to be there.
