Paint with with us at the wall at Medill and Milwaukee behind the tracks.

We’ll have paint materials. Come dressed for painting. All welcome! All Ages. Families encouraged.

For 5 years AnySquared & ABC’s Project Logan have maintained the Community Wall. Needed touch-ups have required repainting over much of
the original mural. On July 26th we will transform this wall into a new mural.
