🎨🌺 Something beautiful just bloomed. Mending 🎨🌺 Something beautiful just bloomed. Mending Walls RVA (@mendingwallsrva) is unveiling the very first mural in its new Trust Building/s series—four murals across Richmond, each exploring a different dimension of trust.

This first mural, to be unveiled Saturday, May 24, centers on RELIABILITY—what it means to show up, stay present, and hold space for each other through life’s challenges.

The Trust Building/s series is a collaborative project, co-created with the community and brought to life through the gestures, stories, and faces of real people—shaped by hands that don’t all look the same but move in rhythm toward a shared goal. Each mural will reflect one of the foundational elements of trust: Consistency, Reliability, Honesty, and Empathy.

What makes this series especially powerful? It’s built on real, honest conversations between people who may not see eye to eye politically or socially—but who are willing to listen. The heart of this first mural comes from a One Small Step conversation between Toi and Kate. Their dialogue didn’t end when the mics turned off—in fact, that’s when it deepened. Artists Noah Scalin (@noahscalin) and Alfonso Pérez Acosta (@adrawingtable) were inspired by that connection, transforming it into a vivid work of public art. You’ll find Toi and Kate’s actual words woven into the mural—a living testament to what it means to keep showing up.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:
	•	🎨 A bold and colorful mural reveal
	•	🎤 Reflections from the artists + storytellers
	•	📸 Photo-worthy moments
	•	☕ Coffee + Connection Conversations
	•	💬 A vibe you don’t want to miss

Come through. Soak it in. Be part of the beginning.

Beth Anne Booth returns to The Yellow House with “Awakening” — a powerful new exhibition exploring healing, recovery, and spiritual growth.

Booth’s previous exhibition deeply resonated with the Richmond community, and Awakening continues that journey of introspection and transformation. Inspired by her experiences with sobriety and a life-saving lung transplant, this latest body of work is both intimate and expansive. Through themes of surrender, renewal, and resilience, the series invites viewers into a visual meditation on what it means to heal and evolve.

Awakening offers more than art—it offers an experience of reflection and connection, inviting viewers to consider their own paths of becoming.

🗓️ On display now. Guests are invited to enjoy light refreshments while exploring the work during an opening reception on Tuesday, May 20 at 5 PM. Follow @healingwholearts for details. 

📍The Yellow House RVA, LLC is a private home that turns in to an art gallery for private events and meetings.  Dedicated to supporting women and LGBTQ+ artists, The Yellow House provides a space in the Richmond community for thoughtful conversation and engagement. Follow @theyellowhouse_rva for more details.
