These are the people shaping, advancing and steering Richmond arts in new directions. All ages, shapes and styles. They're showing us new things -- how to fool the DMV, how to become 41 people. They're going new places into houses that power the city, onto a bottle of Mountain Dew. They're opening doors or, if there aren't doors, knocking through walls and putting in doors. And behind those doors, the big secret, the thing you notice when you read between the lines of these profiles, are the connections between them all. And how all the doors lead to the same house. One that powers the city.
