Hello Richmond!
- This notification is a summary of the most recent updates of the project! To see the updates in full please check the petition & scroll down until you see May 2025 Update!
It’s been a little while since the last update but we’ve got a good one for you! The petition is already coming up on 2,000 signatures (we just crossed 1,920 this morning) & your voices are being heard! The energy continues to rise for the project as do the official endorsements!
I’m very excited to share that two more council members have sent their written, signed endorsements!
- Kathrine Jordan has been a very vocal proponent of this project for some time now. She also happens to be my council person of the 2nd District & has written a glowing endorsement for the park / the specific proposed location of the park! Kathrine is a massive advocate for the Arts in Richmond & consistently shows up for the occasion. Her endorsement will go a long way to completing this project!
- Reva M. Trammell has enthusiastically backed this project with a full-throated endorsement that’s everything we could possibly ask for from a council member! Even going as far as to urge Danny Avula to approve funding for this project! Reva is beyond stoked about this project & is going above & beyond to help push this through!
Perhaps most importantly — Ellen Robertson of the 6th District is working with Department of Public Works on a land-use agreement for our proposed park location! This is absolutely CRITICAL to whether this project happens or not! With this contract in place, Richmond will have its 1st Public Art Park.
We are announcing Little Giant Society’s 1st ever fundraiser for Richmond’s 1st Public Art Park! Next month on May 18th from 12 - 5pm at the legendary Veil Brewery in Scott’s Addition we will be hosting our little fundraiser!
There will be 4 live Muralists creating custom pieces of Art throughout the show & 3 DJ’s spinning beats all day! There will be an interactive place to add your feedback to the park, a 3D miniature of the park, a naming competition for the park, a special drink made for this day only, a chance to speak with prominent city officials, & an opportunity to join in with the thousands of people that have already shown their support for this project!
Additionally, our website is now live & is ready to be shared thanks to the volunteer efforts of Dan Dechiara! We’re also going to start getting some incredible features, updates, interactivity, & design feature that are great! You can also donate to or 501(c)3 Non-profit or volunteer to help make this dream a reality in Richmond!
Lastly — to tease what comes next. We’ve got 2 more upcoming events to be announced including a secret special project that is also a Public Art piece that will be a COUNTRY-WIDE first! So much good stuff on the horizon!
Please continue to share this petition until we are across the finish line! Thank you to every single one of you! We sincerely hope to see you May18th from 12 - 5pm at The Veil in Scott’s Addition!
