Collaborate, Construct, Create Community kicked off this past Saturday with 175 local painters contributing their art. We have two more participation days left. Join us on Wednesday, April 12 from 2-6:30pm and on Saturday, April 15 from 10am-3pm. We will have a special Closing Ceremony on Saturday, April 15 at 3:30pm, in celebration of the completed artwall and World Art Day.
Collaborate, Construct, Create Community is a community art experience under the direction of Bay Area Artist Richard Art Felix and the EverybodyCanPaint Project. All members of the community are invited to participate with paint and words on a 20 foot artwall installation in front of the Downtown Library to create an interconnected, inclusive, and growing visual representation of and with our community. Come paint with us! Learn More
