Request for Proposal: Design Invitations, Apparel, and Bags for Urban Tilth’s 20th Anniversary

We are hosting our 20th Anniversary Celebration in October to honor two decades of Urban Tilth’s transformative impact on the Richmond community, sharing the incredible journey from our grassroots beginnings to becoming a thriving organization with 14 programs and a 10-acre urban farm. This milestone event provides an opportunity for our community to come together and reflect on the seeds we’ve planted, the growth we’ve achieved, and the sustainable food systems we’ve cultivated over the past 20 years. 

We’re gathering to express our deep gratitude to the Richmond community for the privilege of serving them for two decades, while collectively envisioning and committing to the next chapter of our work. Together, we’re preparing the soil for another 20 years of building a more just and healthier Richmond community.

We are in need of designs for our invitations and farm stand items, and are looking to partner with an artist this month!
