  11. Richmond Mural Project The Richmond Mural Project is a yearly event with the goal of creating over 100 murals by world renown talent in the first 5 years alone. These street artists come from all over the world, including: Italy, California, Spain, New York, Argentina,   Puerto Rico, Brazil, Italy, Belgium and Kansas. The main mission of the Richmond Mural Project is to make Richmond the top destination for Murals in the United States.    By specifically targeting walls in areas that are in disrepair, these murals can be positive catalyst for change. Examples are: murals placed in areas that have a lot of abandoned buildings and have low foot traffic, areas with high crime and areas in need of identity are just a few examples of how these Murals can make a positive change in the environment they reside in. Richmond gets a nod for ‘Best street art in the world’
