Hey all,

At long last the CAR is receiving public comments tomorrow starting at 3.30 over the question of whether or not BustArt’s mural in Jackson Ward should be allowed to stay. I am very appreciative of the many of you who have written emails to the board already. Tomorrow however will be the deciding day, and the greatest impact you can have will be to show up in person or on MicrosoftTeams via this link

Here is the wall before and here is the wall after

Feel free to still write alex.dandridge@rva.gov with your comments, although I do not know how effective that will be. I am considering taking your comments are presenting them, so if anyone would like to say something but can not attend please drop me a DM with your comment, name, and address (internet strangers mean nothing to them, name/addy adds legitimacy)

In the interest of full disclosure I will also be arguing on behalf of my own right to paint a mural on a location in Church Hill, completely unrelated to BustArt’s mural. BustArt is a friend of mine, and it is via me and this sub that the homeowner was connected to him- however I did not paint this mural and it is not an artwork of mine.
