Farm Aid featured artist Pame la Bliss\, of Indiana will paint alongside Hampton Roads artist Jazzmyn El lis for two weeks to complete the mural. The mural will feature Farm Aid ’s 2026 logo\, featuring many of the farm products Virginia farmers offe r\, as well as farmers market products such as fish\, tomatoes\, sunflower s\, eggs and other produce found weekly at the Saturday morning market. \n   \nFarm Aid 2026 is coming to Virginia Beach to rock for family farmers on Saturday\, September 26\, at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater. T he lineup features Willie Nelson & Family\, Neil Young & the Chrome Hear ts\, John Mellencamp\, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds\, Margo Price\, Nathan iel Rateliff\, Turnpike Troubadours\, Lukas Nelson\, Ty Myers\, Mike Campb ell & The Dirty Knobs\, Jesse Welles\, Sierra Ferrell\, Mon Rovîa\, I’m With Her\, Amythyst Kiah\, Lily Meola\, Chris Pierce and the Wisdom India n Dancers. \n  \nThe festival will highlight the vital role that family f armers play in their communities – growing food\, strengthening local ec onomies and helping sustain the places we call home. Family farmers are cu rrently facing the most serious threats to their livelihoods since the 198 0s Farm Crisis. Farmers are navigating economic volatility\, policy uncert ainty and consolidation\, all of which harm both farmers and their communi ties because they are so closely linked. \n  \nAttendees will experience farmers’ contributions firsthand via HOMEGROWN Concessions®\, which off ers a delicious and fresh menu with ingredients that are grown or raised b y farmers who use ecological practices and are paid a fair price. Farm Aid ’s HOMEGROWN Village features hands-on activities engaging festivalgoers with exhibits about soil\, water\, energy\, food and farming. \n  \nFarm Aid reached out to the ViBe Creative District several months ago to offer a community give back mural that would pair featured artist Pamela Bliss with an up-and-coming Hampton Roads artist. The ViBe Creative District sel ected artist Jazzmyn Ellis who frequents ViBe’s First Friday series and who has previously painted live at events representing ViBe. \n  \n“Far m Aid is thrilled to partner with the ViBe District\, and with Pamela and Jazzmyn on this meaningful mural\,” said Michael Stewart Foley\, Farm Ai d’s Cultural Impact Director. “The success of family farms and the we llbeing of communities are closely linked\, and this mural highlights that connection next to the Old Beach Farmers Market\, one of the best example s of a thriving community-based food system that values its farmers.” \n   \nOld Beach Farmers Market Chair Jeremy Maloney is sponsoring the mural through his architecture firm\, Altruistic Design. “The ViBe Creative D istrict and Old Beach Farmers Market are incredibly special to me\, and I ’ve always had a passion for supporting our farmers\, small businesses a nd creative community\,” said Maloney. “It’s an honor to connect Far m Aid’s national advocacy efforts with the work happening right here in Virginia Beach. The Mural will be a vibrant reminder of that connection an d an incredible backdrop for every Old Beach Farmers Market.” \n  \nThe public can watch the mural come to life by visiting 604 18th Street (Lowe Auto) which is directly next to the Old Beach Farmers Market location for weekly Saturday events. Artists Pamela Bliss and Jazzmyn Ellis will be on site daily through September 27th until the mural is completed. ViBe will also coordinate a live onsite fence mural painting at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater at Virginia Beach on Saturday\, September 26\, during Farm Aid 2026 for festival-goers to help paint. A limited number of Farm A id 2026 tickets are available\; visit farmaid.org to learn more. \n  \nTh is mural partnership is a walk up to ViBe’s 9th Annual ViBe Mural Festiv al taking place Oct 2-11\, 2026 where 10 murals are painted in 10 days all throughout the district. Named one of the “52 Places to visit in 2026\, ” the ViBe Creative District is Virginia Beach’s cultural enclave. \n   \nAbout artists Pamela Bliss and Jazzmyn Ellis: \n  \nPamela Bliss is an Indiana based artist who works predominantly in realism and occasionall y in other styles.
