You’re invited to help design a vibrant street mural for our community!
Artist Danielle Fodor is leading a series of three workshops in June and July to design a mural to paint on a pavement surface in the neighborhood (a mix of greenbelt and street locations). · All ages welcome -- but best for people older than 10. Younger children will enjoy the street painting in October best. · Nearby neighbors are invited to participate in the design.* · If you work in the neighborhood or walk here daily, you can come too! · Workshops will include activities for both drawers and talkers. No artistic ability necessary. Come to all three workshops, or whichever ones you can attend! Drop-ins welcome. OK to arrive late or leave early. Remember to RSVP below so we have enough chairs!
