This event welcomes all age levels and all levels of painting ability! On July 17th, the walking/riding path that runs between the Washington Fire Department and the Five Points parking lot will be blocked off for painting. Painters can spend the day painting a square(s) and eating from the food trucks vendors available on-site. Individual squares can be purchased to paint; each 4ft by 4ft square costs $20, each 10ft by 10ft square is $50. The paint and brushes are included in the price of the square, plus additional tools are available for use to create a masterpiece (i.e. yard sticks, chalk to sketch, specialty paint colors, etc...). Participants may bring their own supplies, but only the paint provided at the event may be used. The paint being used has been approved by the City of Washington; we cannot guarantee how long the artwork will remain on the path. BRIDGE encourages the pre-purchase of squares in order to ensure that the necessary amount of paint and supplies will be available during the event; however, squares can be purchased the day of the event at the check-in tent while squares/supplies last (day-of prices $25/$60).
