Our stance on AI

RVA.Events is for everyone, but we can't ignore how AI is actively displacing the people who make Richmond vibrant. Artists, musicians, and writers (heck, even developers!) are being pushed out as companies chase automation over community.

We believe in centering what's human, local, and creative. Most AI-related events will be respectfully declined, especially those rehashing common narratives. If your event offers something truly new and/or community-grounded, we'll give it a fair look. But we won't help amplify what's erasing real people's work.
