Volunteers painting the central bicycle-wheel design - photo by Yuki
A quick blog post to show off some photographs of last Saturday’s (March 12th 2011) intersection mural painting. This is the third time Eco-Village and our neighbors have painted this “intersection repair” mural. It’s inspired by the work of Portland’s City Repair. This weekend, we mostly freshened-up the mural painted in 2009 – covered here – while adding a few new twists. It was a great opportunity to bring people together. Lots of kids and adults in our neighborhood helped make something beautiful we can all be proud of!

In addition to the mural on the street, created by many volunteer hands, muralists Caché and another artist (someone tell me the name and I’ll update this entry!) painted this aerosol mural on the retaining wall of the future learning garden site:
