2013 RColorful Corners Street Mural Painting Schedule
Salt, sand and snow plows give our street murals quite a beating during tough Minnesotan winters. But have no fear, we’re ready to help neighborhoods spruce up their street murals. Everyone is welcome to these street mural paintings, each start at 9 am. Just wear your painting clothes and we’ll provide everything else! You do not need to live in the neighborhood or have any painting skill at all to help in these fun community-building projects.
More about the RColorful Corners street mural program can be found on our website.
Come out and help add some color to our neighborhoods!
