#14: Artist Hamilton Glass on Community, Conversations, and 10k Collaborations
Our guest on this episode of the On the Move podcast is Hamilton Glass. Hamilton is a renowned artist, designer, and creator based here in Richmond. He has created over 50 murals and public art installations throughout Richmond, the state of Virginia, and across the United States. He is one of the creators behind innovative public art projects like Mending Walls and All In Together, and this year he has partnered with the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k to create a design for the event participant shirt and also launched a new All In Together 10k project. In this episode we discuss those partnerships for the 10k, the importance of connecting people through art and conversations, and the impact his work is having in Richmond and beyond. It was a great discussion full of insight, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
