Richmond, Va.
The Poe Museum in Richmond,
Va.—yes, Edgar Allan Poe lived in
Richmond as well as Baltimore—
hosts the U.S. debut of a contemporary art exhibit devoted to Poe’s
1845 poem, The Raven. “The Raven,
Terror & Death” opened in Mexico
earlier this year. Featuring more than
60 contemporary artists from the
United States and Mexico, it showcases a variety of artists’ responses
to Poe’s poem. The gathered works
provide excellent examples of art
that transcends borders—as well as
a rare opportunity to see new art by
some of Mexico’s most respected artists. Through Jan. 1. Poemuseum.org
