Friends of Skinner West is excited to announce a fun community partnership and fundraiser with the developers of 1400 W. Monroe who will be sponsoring both an art contest for our students and a chance to paint a mural on their existing building.
Students are invited to submit their artwork and 6 young artists will be chosen to have their art sketched onto the walls of the building at 1400 W. Monroe by artist Jason Watts. Students and the community are then invited to help paint the art on June 22nd (rain date June 23rd) from 10am-3pm. The cost to paint is $5 and all donations will be matched by 1400 W. Monroe. All proceeds will be donated to Friends of Skinner West.
This is a great way to showcase your young artist while helping beautify our community and helping our school. We hope to see you there! More information can be found here.
