To celebrate the launch of the 2016-2017 Love Your Block application cycle, we joined Richmond Main Street Initiative for the Art In Windows opening reception and brought back our interactive Chalkboard Art Installation in front of the Richmond BART station. Community members of all ages stopped by to tell us about their aspirations and the impact our $2,000 mini-grants could have on their Richmond neighborhoods. The installation was up for two weeks, and Art In Windows pieces, featuring artwork created through Love Your Block-funded workshops, remained on display until November.
