The Experience:

Artists inspire a creative culture!

‘Collective We’ opens today, May 29th through October 23rd. It’s a powerful and intimate showcase of contemporary figurative art by two international voices from across the globe: Kateryna Bortsova (Ukraine) and Aran (Iran).

Through painting and photography, they share deeply personal reflections on identity, memory, and what it means to belong—no matter where you come from. At a time when connection and community matter more than ever, ‘The Collective We’ reminds us that even across continents, we carry shared emotional truths. Opens on May 29th– book your visit in advance! https://www.eventbrite.com/…/duo-exhibition-collective…

RevArt and CoBiz Richmond are thrilled about their partnership which was designed to empower local artists and inspire the Richmond community. By merging RevArt’s focus on supporting artists with CoBiz’s mission to uplift under-invested communities, this collaboration will create meaningful opportunities for artists to thrive as entrepreneurs while enriching Richmond’s cultural landscape.

The Artists:

Kateryna Bortsova is a classically trained painter and graphic artist whose dreamlike figures are often partially veiled by balloons and blooms. Her work explores the beauty and ambiguity of self-representation, merging classical technique with philosophical depth.

Aran (Nima Raadparsa) is a self-taught Iranian photographer whose emotionally charged, socially conscious portraits form a quiet yet powerful chorus. Formerly a photojournalist, his art now focuses on identity, race, and community.

In partnership with RevArt, COBIZ Richmond is thrilled to announce their exhibition,
