From the Columbia Heights Listserv:
“Hello,
The LAYC Art+Media House seeks outdoor walls for its summer murals
initiative. If you are tired of repainting a wall that is continuously
tagged or vandalized in other ways, than your best bet is a mural. We know
that walls with Murals not only beautify the neighborhood, but keep others
from “tagging” or vandalizing.
We will provide all materials, supplies, youth workers, and a lead artist.
Content of Mural will be pre determined and approved by both parties.
Only a few slots are available for the summer but more may become available
in the fall. So if you or your business are interested, please write us a
short one paragraph proposal. Good luck.
