I want to share [CHOOSE ONE:
I'm supporting this mural because I believe in the power of ART to transform people and places: to create neighborhoods where people know each others' names and work together to build community -- while sparking conversations about the future. I thought you might be excited about supporting it, too.

The ELEMENTAL street mural is a project that's been 2 years in the making. More than 150 people from 3 to 92 years old contributed to the design, and the mural will serve people who live in more than 1000 homes in the area, ranging from affordable housing and apartments to single-family homes. The neighborhood's collective efforts have created an incredible bold, colorful mural that will act as a public plaza, labyrinth, and play space for the neighborhood. It’s an amazing artistic vision -- but they need more money to make it happen.
The proposed mural surfaces -- extending in the greenbelt from behind Atria Covell Gardens senior housing to nearby Hacienda Avenue, and echoed with a mini-mural at nearby Blue Spider Park -- require more than 4000 sq ft of additional paint, additional artist time, sealer, and more printing.
Learn more about the project -- view the design sketches -- and see the faces of the people in our neighborhood -- in a super-fun short video.
We are all invited to help paint the concrete and asphalt on October 12-14, working together under a professional artist team to draw and paint a monumental paint-by-number. I can't wait. This project is super fun and amazing -- and I want to share it with you so you can join in the fun, too.

Paint the Street Davis - Senda Nueva!
On October 12-14, a neighborhood will come together for a monumental Painting Party to create a 10,000 ft2 mural that stretches along a concrete North Davis greenbelt pathway to the asphalt surface of Hacienda Avenue. Our community needs support to supersize our mural and fill a budget gap of $15,000 for more paint, labor and a protective topcoat. Please help us bring our vision of a public plaza and a vibrant residential artwalk alive.

VOLUNTEER
Organizing a street mural with a 3 day installation is a bit like organizing a wedding. You got a bunch of people coming over, and they need to be kept safe and comfortable -- with food, water, a bathroom, and a place to sit down.
We also need these people to make great art, so we'll need giant paint brushes, yogurt containers for carrying paint around, cardboard cut-outs of leaves and flowers, and giant stencils they can trace.
All this means a bit of organizing beforehand.
If you're interested and able to help out with organizing the mural, we'd love your help! You can contact the mural's Creative Action Team at: paintthestreetdavis@gmail.com.
We will also be seeking volunteers to help clean the street, draw, paint, and clean brushes at the mural. Join our mailing list by emailing paintthestreetdavis@gmail.com and we'll email you with paint day information and more opportunities to get involved, as we solidify our plans in September.
For now, you can save the dates Oct 12-14 to come join us. If it rains, we'll delay until the following weekend.
