Now we need your help. http://inkworkspress.com/2010/06/23/the-mural-is-done-now-we-need-your-help/ http://inkworkspress.com/2010/06/23/the-mural-is-done-now-we-need-your-help/#comments Wed, 23 Jun 2010 20:49:27 +0000 jonathan http://inkworkspress.com/?p=213

The Mural is complete! We had a wonderful celebration gathering on June 12. Lots of friends and neighbors got to see the unveiling, with music and dancing spilling into the street in front of Inkworks.

The mural has transformed the outside of our building into a vivid and colorful representation of the past 40 years of people’s history and grassroots movements.

The painting of the mural has incurred debts we need to pay back. Please donate and become a part of this vibrant public art available for our entire community to see and appreciate.

We will gladly accept any size donation. Just a few dollars from each one of you will help pay outstanding bills for paint and scaffolding. For donations of $100 or more, we will gratefully give you a copy of our critically acclaimed book Visions of Peace and Justice signed by current members of the Inkworks Collective and Juana Alicia, mural director.

You may send us a check written to Earth Island on behalf of InkWorks
