Jenie

Our final day of painting. Countless thanks go out to everyone who came out for this day. We seriously couldn’t have done this without you, and are excited to feature our collaboration with you for everyone in the neighborhood to see come August.

Painting Days

Jenie

After all this planning and preparing, we finally get to paint!

We spent:

  • 6/21: 1 full day (8 am to 3:30 pm) priming the boards and setting up the work area in the garage and driveway of Escuela Verde.
  • 6/22 and 6/27: 2 full days (8 am to 3:30 pm) painting with the students.
  • 6/28: 1 full day (8 am to 7:30 pm) painting with the community.
