Community Mural Weekend: Priming & Prepping Wall Friday, July 24!

For 5 years AnySquared & ABC\u2019s Project Logan have maintained the Community Wall at Medill. Needed touch-ups have required repainting over much of
the original mural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When AnySquared organized the old mural on the community wall 5 year ago, we remember how difficult the bumpy wall was to roll and how long it took to prime. Because of that AnySquared & ABC decided to budget some of our benefit funds to hire Uneek to prime our wall quickly in one night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, July 24th Flash ABC came armed with print outs from a file that Tracy from AnySquared prepared earlier in the day with the grid of colors. With three 5-gallon buckets of donated paint in green, blue, and grey, Flash and Tracy embarked on guiding Uneek on where the colors go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ran into a power glitch with the generator and sprayer and tried a few different things. After a while, Attitude7 walked the block on Medill and asked Sarah, a nearby neighbor, if she could donate some electricity to run the sprayer from an extension cord. After a and hour two delay, and with the help of this wonderful neighbor\u2019s power, the spraying began. We were out on Friday until 1:30 or 2am, but the job got done and ready for Saturday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
