Opportunity Details
Creating Street Art part 2
Arts in the Alley takes rundown city streets and alleys and turns them into bright outdoor art galleries by painting murals. YOU don’t have to be an artist to participate – much of the work is priming and paint by numbers. Murals make a neighborhood more fun, safer, and bring art outside the walls of galleries. Volunteers see first-hand a portion of the transformative process of community redevelopment through art.
This project is NOT part of HandsOn Day 2015, but is an extension of the work begun on Saturday Morning Oct 17 for HandsOn Day.
Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty or paint-splattered. Bring sunscreen, water, a snack, and lunch if you'd like if you plan to stay through lunchtime. This project will happen rain or shine. Much can be done even in the rain, so don't let a little drizzle keep you away! Parking is available on the street. We recommend you leave your valuables in your car since you'll be moving and working at various locations outside.
All volunteers who plan to attend must be registered, either as an individual, or via the team functionality. This includes youth. To learn more about our Team Functionality, please view our Volunteer with a Group page.
If allowed on the project, any youth volunteers under the age of 18 must bring a parent-signed youth waiver to the project. The waiver can be found after sign up on the confirmation page or by visiting our Volunteer with Youth page.

Over the course of the weekend, volunteers will be cleaning and prepping walls, priming walls, and helping paint a number of murals in Brookland Park. Saturday afternoon is sketching and painting the first coat of color, and on Sunday the mural details will be filled in and painted.Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty or paint-splattered.
