Making Art happen! 

July 24-26, 2015
AnySquared and ABC/Project Logan primed the wall, projected and outlined
the design. We hosted the Community Paint Day where 100+ people from
the neighborhood came out to help and to paint throughout the day! We got a lot of work done in 7 hours! AnySquared & ABC/Project Logan completed the
wall in the following weeks. Check out these links about the mural:

Gratitude to neighbors who donated to make it happen:
Cole’s Bar, Cafe Mustache, Temple of the Dog, Hairitics, Hyman
Interiors, Radler, Bucket O’ Blood, Threads Etc, East Room, Boiler Room,
Art+Science and artists Nino Rodriguez, Lucky Gnome, and Rita Garcia
Sindelar.

Thanks to our wonderful Community Mural Volunteers.

Big thanks to Unity Park in Logan Square for their neighborly help throughout this project as well as lending us the tent and coolers for the Sunday Paint Day!
