East Bay artists: got mural-painting skills? I’ve been informed by a friend-in-the-know that a loosely organized group has formed to cover up pre-primed window boards with art in downtown Oakland, California. They’re looking for help and supply donations. Read on.
Redditor mtweiner shares some details:
We have 2-3 dozen spots boarded and primed, ready for any artists who want to come through. Most folks are out 10a-3pmish every day, starting at 13th & broadway.
Meet us at the Tribune Tower if you’d like to volunteer! Supplies can be provided for any artists who would like to join in. Spaces are ready to be painted!
…for those of you asking about donations, we currently don’t have a specific fund set up. If you’re local, any spray cans, ladders, poles, brushes, or paint you have around that you would like to donate please swing by 13th & Broadway – theres a building open collecting supply donations. Same goes for Tribune Tavern on Franklin & 13th.
