Community Art Project
This will be the first community art project at the Mill Valley Fall arts Festival!
Robert is preparing a large mural surface with a "ready to paint" line drawing of Samantha Ferro's "Map of Mill Valley" poster image and visitors will be able to have fun painting it at the festival. It will be set up on Cascade Drive, near the bridge. Look for the sign!
Make a donation of your choice, and have fun "painting the town!"
