Help paint a new Willy St mural!
Williamson Street Art Center announces public painting days at Wil – Mar Neighborhood Center.
You are invited to help paint a mural celebrating: “The History of Willy Street in the 70’s – Changing the World through Art”
Join us Sunday July 5 and/or Sunday July 12 at Wil – Mar Neighborhood Center, 957 Jenifer St from 1pm – 5pm
This project celebrates the history of Willy Street in the 70’s, when it was primarily a working class industrial area, a place where artists and social activists found cheap rent and minimal restriction on their artistic and political activity. The story of how Madison’s “skid row” became the “hippest” area in town is the story of community renewal that came about because of the value of the human activity that occurred here. This is the local history of a generation whose hallmark was hope.
This new community mural will be installed on the side of the Social Justice Center, 1202 Williamson St in the fall.
Call Sharon Kilfoy at 658-3736 for more information.
