After raising almost 2k for improvements to Edgewood Skatepark last year, artists and skateboarders are now looking to raise money for paint supplies. The supplies will be used by a handful of selected local talent to create murals on the old ramps. Westville artist Caryn Azoff has already donated her time and skills to paint the old pyramid. Now we want to see the rest of the ramps covered in beautiful murals. Our goal is to raise 1,500 for supplies. Any amount helps! If you would like to volunteer to help artist on their mural, please contact [email protected]. Click HERE to donate!
