Calling all volunteers to sign-up! Another great community painting opportunity is here! 

First Hill Improvement Association (FHIA) is teaming up with Urban Artworks to help us restore the beautiful artwork by Nathan Watkins on the James Street columns under I-5. We'll be hosting a community paint day on Saturday, June 15th, so come on out with your family and friends and join in the fun!

Sign ups are offered in 1.5 hour time slots, though feel free to sign up for multiple slots if you like. We welcome anyone who'd like to stay past 3:30 PM to finish painting and help cleaning and putting supplies away. Make sure to wear close-toed shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting painty.
