No painting experience needed— just bring your energy, openness, and a willingness to be part of something meaningful.
Alfonso Acosta-Pérez and Noah Scalin are reuniting, inspired by their original collaboration in 2020, amplifying the conversations around Black Lives Matter and advocacy for social justice.
What’s Trust Building/s?
Trust Building/s is a four-part mural series that will spread throughout the city. These murals will be co-created with the community to come alive with 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 centered around one of the foundational elements of trust:
Consistency
Reliability
Honesty
Empathy

Mending Walls Documentary - Richmond International Film Festival
Mending Walls: The Documentary
Artist Hamilton Glass challenges 30 artists from different cultural backgrounds to collaborate on 16 murals in Richmond, VA about race, status and experiences. In real-time footage and testimonial, the film shows how the artists got to know each other through difficult conversations, how working together ultimately opened their eyes and their hearts to the differences between all of us, and how these murals became a symbol of hope for the future for a community in pain.
