Austin Creative Reuse

Let's try this again! We had to cancel last weekend's Community Art Sessions due to the weather, but we're back in business this weekend!

Help us paint a storybook mural on our Materials Mobile trailer! Local artist Sarah Doan is creating a mural artwork for the trailer, and you're invited to help bring her design to life! We'll have community painting sessions this Saturday, July 18 from 11AM-3PM and Sunday, July 19 from 12-2PM.

No experience necessary and all ages welcome for this paint-by-numbers community project. Please ensure younger kids are accompanied by an adult and wear clothing that you don't mind getting paint on, as well as sunscreen, a hat and a water bottle. This is a drop-in event - come by anytime, but please RSVP so we know to expect you: https://events.humanitix.com/community-artwork-come-help-us-paint-our-materials-mobile

Swipe to see Sarah's progress on the mural and some of our lovely volunteers who showed up to help us paint last Saturday and pivoted to painting signage instead of the trailer due to impending storms. Thanks y'all! 🖌🎨
