We're putting together a project grab bag.
We're all of us talented and motivated folks, but coming up with an enticing 3-week project with a group of strangers in just an hour or two might still be a tall order. So there'll be a grab bag of projects for teams to choose from/be inspired by in case creating one from scratch isn't immediately obvious.
What kind of projects? Try a few of these sample ideas on for size:
Making Burien more beautiful on wall at a time. We will find building owners in Downtown Burien that have large blank outdoor walls, and will design and paint two new murals. The city of Burien has an Art Alley that has grown into a beautiful collaboration artists, like this. Part of the project will be getting paint and brushes donated for the project, approving designs, and getting the murals complete with artists and volunteers. You don't have to be an artist to be involved, but if you have an artistic background that is a plus!
