why we're doing it

So many people drive under this forgotten trestle on a daily basis.  It is dark and dingy, yet it is in the center of a great neighborhood.  By painting a colorful mural the aesthetics and esteem of the neighborhood and its members will be increased.

Meet the Artists Night!

Langford Market (next door to Urban Outfitters) has graciously offered to celebrate the start of the mural painting by hosting a 'Meet the Artists'
night! It will be held Wednesday, May 28th from 5-8pm. They would like to celebrate the kickoff of the mural by bringing together all of the donors and the volunteers. Please invite anyone to the party that you think would be interested in volunteering during the wall preparation and painting process. I have asked the artists to have design boards of bits and pieces of the mural to be on exhibit that night, so come get a sneak peak!
