The Spider Shop at the University of Richmond transformed into a lively space as Tina Hallock, the First Lady of the university, launched her children’s book, “Along Came the Spiders.”
During the heyday of “free love” and flower crowns, larger-than-life folk and soft rock icons like James Taylor, Carole King and Jackson Browne were cultivating the soundtrack of a generation – songs that would live on in the hearts of grandparents and music snobs alike. But while these faces adorned tour posters and album covers everywhere, the studio session musicians behind their legendary records remained largely out of the spotlight. On the afternoon of Tuesday, April 8, members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Richmond, alongside a spattering of film students, filtered into the Ukrop Auditorium in the Robins School of Business. The matinee was “Immediate Family” (2022), a documentary directed by filmmaker Denny Tedesco about four influential artists who make up the titular unit: Danny “Kootch” Kortchmar, Russ Kunkel, Leland Skar and Waddy Wachtel. The event was co-sponsored by the Film Studies department in partnership with Osher, a member of which gave some opening remarks. Dr. Monika Siebert, the Interdisciplinary Coordinator of Film Studies, Jennifer Cavanaugh, Dean of the School of Arts & Sciences, Lynn Hardwicke, an Academic Administrative Coordinator, Jennifer Lo Prete, a Communications Manager for the Dean’s Office, and other members of the Osher program were involved in organizing the screening. Before the film began, Tedesco spoke about his first visit to the University of Richmond nine years ago to show his other music documentary “The Wrecking Crew” (2008) about the collective of artists in the ‘60s who played on seminal albums like The Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds.” Tedesco has a special connection to this scene; his father, Tommy Tedesco, was one of the Crew’s guitarists.
Happy Monday Spiders! Congrats! We are entering the final stretch of the semester. In between preparing for final exams and wrapping up those big projects, make some time for movie screenings, book launches, and theatre performances!
The soft, dulcimer strings of Joni Mitchell’s “California” wafted through two tower speakers in the middle of the Modlin Center for the Arts courtyard, mixing with the ambient chatter of student vendors, art ambassadors and curious visitors. On Friday, April 4, Modlin Arts Student Ambassadors (MASA) witnessed the product of all their planning: tables lined the Modlin lobby, displaying visual, written and handcrafted works from artists who chose to showcase them. The art market – entitled “Modlin Arts Crawl” – represents a collaborative creative opportunity for University Museums, student radio station WDCE, campus sustainability group Rethink Waste and Boatwright Memorial Library’s Book Arts Studio. Organized entirely by MASAs, who support and promote Modlin’s different initiatives, this event is the first of its kind in years. Attendees perused the artists’ selections, surveying creations ranging from freeform poetry to fantasy-inspired drawings to female nude paintings. MASAs walked the lobby, ensuring attendees enjoyed their experience and could ask questions.

Welcome back to campus! We hope you rested up during Thanksgiving break and are ready for the final weeks of the semester. With finals upon us, it’s important to take a break and enjoy the Christmas season in Richmond. There are several free music events this week to take a look at.
Many students stay on campus during Thanksgiving break, but it can be hard to find dining options during the holiday, with the Heilman Dining Center closed the majority of the week.
Only one more full week of classes until Thanksgiving break! It can be hard to stay motivated before a break, but there’s plenty to do this week around Richmond.
