Shagwüf at The Camel
Shagwüf rules. While we often rave about our hometown of Richmond (and rightfully so!), let’s not forget Virginia as a whole is bursting with creativity. Charlottesville's Shagwüf is a prime example—a genre-blending, mind-bending rock ‘n’ roll experience. We had the privilege of sharing the stage with them recently, and if you haven’t seen them yet, don’t miss the chance!
Vitals: Shagwüf at The Camel / Sunday, September 29th, doors at 7:00 pm, music at 8:00 pm / $12 - $15 / The Camel, 1621 West Broad Street
*Limited Supply Remaining*
We've brought back one of our most popular Grid shop items, an Old Fashioned glass that is anything but old fashioned! Our collaboration with artist Hamilton Glass continues, and features his signature #Whosham RVA logo laser-etched around these double rocks cocktail glasses. Hamilton, with his architectural background and passion for public art, has been prominently featured in Richmond Grid and Here Weekly. We’re thrilled to present this limited-edition product from Grid Supply Co. that highlights his distinctive style.
If cocktail glasses aren't your thing, Grid Supply Co. carries other locally made gifts and handmade items by some Richmond's favorite makers and artisans.
