The Juneteenth Underpass Project will help to beautify the Pullman Neighborhood by creating a colorful mural under the current 37th street bridge/underpass which currently consists of bare concrete. The 37th street underpass is a main artery where thousands of cars, bicycles, and pedestrians utilize this route daily. In addition, the annual Richmond Juneteenth Parade utilizes this underpass as part of the route to the festival in Nicholl Park each June. Currently, there is nothing commemorating the Juneteenth Family Day Parade and Festival in Richmond and this mural can help celebrate, elevate and promote the visibility of one of Richmond’s unique events as well as beautify the neighborhoods.

DESIGN PROCESS
Preliminary Pullman
Neighborhood
Council (PNC) to
brainstorm concept
ideas and discuss
muralist candidates.
After deciding on
muralist, PNC
provided our ideas to

Concept design
meeting via Zoom
with Muralist and
PNC to review
designs, provide input,
and finalize draft.
The Juneteenth mural will consist of 4 different phases: 1) Plan & Design 2) Clean-Up and Preparation 3) Painting 4) Reveal Celebration. Our phases will depend on the status of the current pandemic and the COVID protocols for group gatherings, however, planning and design meetings thus far have taken place via Zoom. Our goal is to officially reveal the mural at the annual Pullman Block Party (or Motorcade) on October 9th, 2021 at the cul-de-sac on Ohio and 37th overlooking the underpass.
