This year has been a big one! We brought on new team members, rebooted programming, and began building our roadmap for the future. We are extremely grateful for what we have accomplished with our small team, Board of Directors, and community partners. Thank you for helping Storefront for Community Design connect community members to design tools and resources and engage the next generation of designers.
We've got big things in store for 2022! Until then, enjoy your holiday season and consider supporting Storefront in the new year through the following opportunities.
Become a volunteer
Did we mention we've got big things happening in 2022? We are seeking residents and professionals who are passionate about community voice, equitable design, and collaborative partnerships to join us. We have exciting community engagement initiatives in the city's Downtown and North Side neighborhoods and will be planning for our 10th anniversary celebration. In addition, we are exploring new opportunities in our design education programming. Join us in the new year!
Design a community gathering space
We're still looking for a volunteer(s) to help bring a resident's idea of creating an intentional community gathering space to reality. Do you have landscape design experience and would like to help imagine what a community backyard space would look like? Sign up today and let's work together in January!
Join our Design Directory
Storefront's Design Session Studio assists community partners with the conceptual stage of a project or idea. For the next steps of the design process, the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Design Directory aims to provide a resource for aspects of design projects that go beyond the scope of Storefront's program. Help us build our community of design professionals.
Apply for low-cost design assistance
Are you a resident, non-profit organization, small business, or city staff with a design idea related to improving the quality of life in Richmond? If so, check out our new program menus, get connected to our low-cost design and planning assistance program, and let's work together in 2022!
Share your insights
Do you know of a resource that would benefit community members helping to shape our city that should be shared more widely? Storefront is planning to open source knowledge on community design and projects in the built environment. Help us collect community resources for our toolkit.
