1708 Gallery is pleased to present photographs by John Henley capturing iconic Richmond artists in their studios, homes, and surrounded by their work. These photographs include Myron Helfgott, Willie Anne Wright, Thomas Daniel, Medford Taylor, and many others who help make the Richmond arts community great. 

As 1708 Gallery approached its 40th Anniversary, we are celebrating the past, present, and future of the gallery's role in Richmond's vast and vibrant community. John Henley, an early 1708 artist, began this series by approaching Richmond artists that were significant to him. The series continues to grow much like Richmond's art scene. The artists depicted here are part of our history, our present, and their work will continue to influence many future generations.
