In the lead-up to this Saturday’s block party cele In the lead-up to this Saturday’s block party celebrating the grand (re)opening of @passionprojectrva, a magical little makeover took place today. The block around the gallery’s new home base was transformed with the addition of flowers, disco balls, and lots of love.

This beautiful makeover is meant to encourage Richmonders to stop and smell the flowers and get ready for this weekend’s opening party.

Recently restocked Grid mailbox in the James River Recently restocked Grid mailbox in the James River Park System. Seek it out and leave your story or the words someone else might need to hear. Here are a few recent words left inside:

-What a fun surprise to find this little mailbox treasure on my walk that I seemed to randomly have the desire to take today. The truth is nothing is random. To whoever is reading, may you find the peace and joy that is already yours. You’re already free. You are the freedom and liberation that you seek.

-Being human is the most beautifully painful gift we’ve all been given. It’s a cycle of shedding and regrowth, much like the nature around us.

-I’m leaving Richmond tomorrow. Checking out the beauty of the James one last time. This place and this city have a very beautiful meaning to me.

-I’m visiting Richmond to see my dad. Sadly, he passed away yesterday. I’m happy that I got to spend time with him in his last moments. Dad, thank you for everything you gave me. I know you brought me to this spot and this journal. I’m going to miss you so much.

-The US & Israel continue to bomb Iran. Coming to the river to be in peace and beauty. Praying for all those affected.

-Grateful to be alive. Worried about the future. Wandering around in nature to free my heavy heart.

-RVA has made me love myself and my life and I’m so thankful for it and the people who live here.

-Here on vacation with my lovely girlfriend. Embrace the time you have with those around you. Live to the fullest. Never lose sight of the beauty right in front of you.

-Some days get rough and lonely. Belle Isle is truly one of the few places I feel peace, no matter how much the wind howls along the James. No matter what happens to me, I’ll be thankful for moments like these.

-Asking questions, connecting, healing, growing, losing, learning. That’s what it takes to be human.

-In between becoming the person you want to be and the person you are no longer, there’s a massive grey area. This grey area can feel like a void, but feeling lost is normal in the process of growing. It will take time, so have faith, give yourself credit, and remember to enjoy the process of it all.

This week, Grid team member @erin_frye had the opp This week, Grid team member @erin_frye had the opportunity to spend an inspiring afternoon with @rvaschools educators at Martin Luther King, Jr. Preschool alongside our longtime collaborators @mymusicstartshere, offering a My Music Starts Here mini-retreat focused on mindfulness and music.

Over the years, we’ve been honored to support My Music Starts Here in its efforts to empower early childhood and special education teachers to weave musical learning and play into their daily routines. As a result, we’ve seen firsthand dramatic improvements in literacy, language development, and social-emotional learning.

Next week, we’ll hit the road with My Music Starts Here to attend the Virginia Association for the Education of Young Children (VaAEYC) conference and host a reception at @bigpinkmusic in Hampton!
🔥GIVEAWAY: The Richmond Kickers just dropped the n 🔥GIVEAWAY: The Richmond Kickers just dropped the new Crossing Kit today at noon and this is your chance to snag one for you and a friend.

⚽ To enter: Tag a friend you’d bring to a @richmondkickers match in the comments below. If you win, you’ll both take home a Crossing Kit.

As our hometown heroes head into their 34th consecutive season, the Richmond Kickers have revealed the Crossing Kit, a classic silhouette honoring Richmond’s Triple Crossing, which is one of only two places in the United States where three railroads intersect.

The 2026 primary kit was designed by Alex Kocher of easyfridayco, the Richmond-based soccer creative agency behind the Kickers’ 2025 rebrand. Produced with Hummel International’s bespoke manufacturing, the design continues the club’s effort to deepen its connection to the city through narrative-driven kit design. 

👕 What you’ll win: The Crossing Kit features a tonal triangular pattern referencing the intersecting geometry of the rail lines. A custom jock tag highlights the names of the original three operating railroad companies.

Built on a classic silhouette with a rib knit polo collar and single red button, the kit features blue and red striped cuffs, white sleeves, and a 3D silicone crest with textured weave. The Crossing Kit is also available in long sleeve.

The launch photos were captured in Richmond’s historic neighborhoods at @theboulevardinn, a Colonial Revival rowhouse built in 1914. The shoot marks the second collaboration with longtime Richmonder @nickdavisphoto, who also photographed the Give Me Liberty kit launch earlier this year. 

The club partnered with Richmond fashion brands @shockoe_atelier and @naninstudio to style the kit off the pitch.

You can grab one starting today at the Kickers Store or online: 

📍 2001 Maywill St. Suite 205. Last chance to shop in store: March 4–6
