The Weekend Desk Report

Because I live at AnySquared Studio, I've watched the design for this cool mural project develop into something, well, really cool. Here's the deets:

Art + Community: PAINT WITH US on SUN July 26th! We'll have paint materials available. Come dressed for painting. All welcome! All ages. Families encouraged.

Volunteer to help on the Paint Day and/or help prep the wall on the Friday and Saturday before. Message AnySquared if you want to volunteer or e-mail us.

Look here for any rain date or additional information.
