The inaugural Treehouse team commissioned a mural for the newly renovated space by artist Nell Pierce in 2019 featuring four founding members of the Treehouse program. The theme of planting seeds to grow into the diversity and belonging program, includes a quotation by Octavia E. Butler,
"All that you touch you change. All that you change changes you. The only lasting truth is change.”
