The Bang Art Festival, also known as the Spring Arts Festival, occurred four times at the Richmond Professional Institute (RPI) between 1964 and 1967. The festival was created by RPI faculty in the Communication Arts & Design department. James Bumgardner and Jonathan Bowie were co-directors, along with Richard Carlyon, Jewett Campbell, and Willard Pilchard. Fine Arts department faculty member Bernard Martin, and students William Livingston and Carol Sutton also participated. The goals of the festival were to bring contemporary art, music, theater, dance, and more to Richmond, as well as showcase artists from around the country.
