The Grind League Art Proposal project/program is an extension of the flagship event the organization has hosted since instituted. This project will increase value to surrounding neighborhoods, brighten views of the park, increase participation, and uplift the overall outlook on our communities by bringing artwork that represents the people of the community. With support from local organizations and national brands, aid and resources have been provided to assist us in giving our city a structured plan for painting & renovating our park courts and regaining our youth's attention to community care and development. This is part of The Grind League's "Community Togetherness initiative", uplifting the areas we use for activities and events.
We plan to begin the process the week of August 6th! Donations will be accepted throughout the process as day of and in progress expenses may occur. Please contact (216) 414-6853 to make a donation in-person or via Chase Bank deposit.
