The stream at Pine Camp Cultural Arts and Community Center is suffering from severely degraded and unsafe streambanks.

Local artists will paint four storm drains in Richmond’s Shockoe Bottom neighborhood in the near future. Chosen designs promote the goals of the City of Richmond’s RVA Clean Water Plan.
