It is amazing to see the new @NordicMuseum fill with people, art, music and cultural celebrations. A few of our favorite things: the current visiting exhibition, “Northern Exposure: Contemporary Nordic Arts Revealed”; the drama of shifting daylight in the fjord hall; the openness and welcoming spirit of both the museum and visitors; and the prospect of attending Nordic Nights programming this summer!

What an incredible journey! We are grateful to the residents of North Richmond for sharing their hopes, dreams and priorities for their community’s future with the Mithun Home Team as part of the Resilient by Design Bay Area Challenge. Recent highlights: Children painting sea level rods on Earth Day for temporary installation in Dotson Marsh to visualize sea level change in their community. Courtney and Miss Maria giving a tour through Urban Tilth Farm, which builds community, provides fresh food and fosters career paths for local residents through restoration training. And, finally, the champion of ouR-HOME: the fantastic North Richmond Community Advisory Board, including a diverse group of local residents, elected officials, public agencies and community organizations. Thank you, all! 📷: Sam Holman
