More Murals Coming
Venture Richmond used $50,000 in existing 2026 funding from its General District expansion into Manchester to support new murals in the neighborhood. That investment helped to leverage additional funding through two ABC CARE Grants awarded by the City of Richmond in August 2026.
The first mural funded by the grants is at 1312 Hull Street and is being created by Richmond artist Hamilton Glass as part of his Trust Building project, in partnership with Manchester Alliance and Mending Walls. The project also includes opportunities for the community to get involved, like Community Day on October 3 that helped to kick off the mural, and the final mural unveiling on October 31.
The second mural as part of the grants is planned for 423 Hull Street as a community-building project. Details are still being finalized, so stay tuned for more information.
