East End is already noticeably greener than it was a week or two ago. The growing season is almost upon us! #eastendcemetery #spring #daffodils #rva 📷@wokdocs

#Repost @1708gallery ・・・ Join us for a discussion with Brian Palmer and Erin Hollaway Palmer on March 21st at 6pm about their work with the East End Cemetery and their exhibition The Afterlife of Jim Crow. Exhibition on view at 1708 Gallery until March 23rd. More info at 1708gallery.org.

One of several wonderful groups out in force today at #eastendcemetery: @oakwoodarts, who, in addition to hauling brush and tearing up ivy, gathered post-workday reflections from other volunteers. You can read some of them here. And find out how you can get involved in Oakwood’s East End Quilt Collective project on their website (oakwoodarts.org) or on Facebook. #eastendcemetery #eequiltcollective #grassroots #community #rva @cultureworksrva

Thanks to @oakwoodarts for this snap of rarely-photographed-together @bxpnyc and @wokdocs in action at East End! Oakwood Arts will be on-site tomorrow from 9 to 12:30. Please join them (and us) — and check out their page (and our previous post) for more details. #eastendcemetery #rva

See you Saturday! #Repost @oakwoodarts with @get_repost ・・・ Join Oakwood Arts at the @friendsofeastend cleanup this Saturday, March 9, from 9:00am to 12:30pm, for reflections at East End Cemetery. Throughout the day, we will discuss the complex and rich history of East End, an African American cemetery founded in 1897. Borrow one of our cameras, or bring your own to document your experience. Together, we will share stories and photos over light snacks and refreshments, and assist with the cemetery cleanup efforts. With permission, photos and quotes we collect will be incorporated into our East End Quilt Collective project, with the goal of creating a community quilt highlighting people, places, and stories related to Church Hill. We hope to see you there! 🌱50 Evergreen Road, Richmond, VA🌱 #eequiltcollective #eastendcemetery
