Events

A one-of-a-kind free event, DesignRVA is a hands-on community day where children and their families can imagine and build a Richmond neighborhood dedicated to the spaces where they live, learn, work, and play.

Storefront for Community Design regrets to inform you that DesignRVA2025 is not happening this year due to funding and sponsorship changes that made it impossible for us to host the type of quality event our neighbors deserve and expect. 

DesignRVA’s second annual event held on June 8, 2024. Last year, participants created a 5-by-12 foot tabletop display depicting a 3D map of the city as the children envisioned it.

Community Redevelopment Plans

The Jackson Ward Community Plan brought Gilpin Court and Jackson Ward residents, planning experts, elected officials, and community members together to reach an informed, shared vision for the future of the neighborhood. Storefront held over 5 community events to collaborate and bring this vision to life.

The Community Plan is now a living document that is designed as a guide for community empowerment and a map for continued planning and action.
