Our Partners:
Origami Bicycle is a small, family-owned, business focusing on bicycles for people with limited space, multi-mode commuters, travelers, and anyone who likes a really cool gadget. Our bikes have the capabilities of traditional non-folding bikes but have the added advantage of extreme portability and convenience.
RVA Origami is Central Virginia’s beginner-to-advanced paper folding club, was founded in November 2016 when Spencer Linkous and Daniel Brown joined forces. Through their monthly folding meetups at local libraries, they have built a community of folders who share the joy of paper folding.
River City Taiko is a community ensemble based in Richmond, VA, that plays traditional Japanese drums.
Gamelan Raga Kusuma is a diverse, community-based ensemble dedicated to the study and performance of traditional and contemporary Balinese orchestral music and dance. They are currently in residence at the University of Richmond.
