“The Damsel”: A Visual Album

“The Damsel”: A Visual Album is a digital exhibition that began with an idea to support the visual arts community during the COVID-19 pandemic. This project subsequently turned into a collaboration that not only benefitted the artists involved but the Richmond arts community at large through a partnership with CultureWorks Richmond. It is a visual exploration of “The Damsel,” a deep dive into unrequited love, family forgiveness, and coming-of-age in your 20s with an ironic title inspired by Erin’s personal growth and resolve to be a fierce friend, sister, daughter, activist, woman..

Each artist has chosen one song off the album and has created a new piece around the themes of that song. This diverse group of artists includes painters, photographers, illustrators, sculptors, and more all from Virginia. The ironic title of the album, “The Damsel,” is inspired by Erin’s personal growth and resolve to be a fierce friend, sister, daughter, activist, woman.

To continue supporting the artists, you can PAY ADMISSION to view this gallery! Admission donations will be sent to the artists and CultureWorks Richmond.
