Opportunity Details
Neighborhood Murals
Arts in the Alley aims to revitalize inner-city and downtown neighborhoods. By cleaning up and painting alleys and streets that are currently in disarray, they make them into safer places for residents, schools, and businesses. Walls become bright, outdoor art galleries. HandsOn Day will kick off shift one of day one of a weekend-long painting project they're doing with us. If you'd like to help EVEN MORE, check out the other dates/times you can volunteer with them that weekend. You don’t have to be an artist to participate – much of the work is priming and paint by numbers. Volunteers see first-hand a portion of the transformative process of community redevelopment through art.
UPDATE: The location and theme has changed. Due to permissions with the city, the location had to be moved. It will now be painting at the Hospital Hospitality House. HHH provides a full range of conveniences designed to reduce day-to-day stresses so that patients may focus on recovery and families can concentrate on helping their loved one. The mural here will be an underwater theme in the pediatrics ward.
Saturday morning's tasks will be primarily scraping, priming, and prep.
