This is Community - Mural Project 2024
Richmond Town Center
Radiate Art Space murals are the result of a collaborative process. This year's theme of community was met with creativity by many artists, including students from Richmond area school programs. We hope that the creation and viewing of the murals cultivates a sense of unity and belonging, and adds to the Town Center's pleasant feeling for all community members.

“Untitled”
Elliot Freebern
My online friends and I used to have a community Minecraft server, we would all play together every day and connect across the world. This work is a picture of my friend in my in-game house with a sign they put up because I really loved the community we had on the server and how we could have fun together even though we were in different states and countries and timezones.
