It takes a community to build something beautiful — and right now, we need all of us.

The mural festival is just 6 days away from the crowdfunding campaign finish line — but we’re only halfway to our (already reduced) goal. If we don’t raise the rest, we’ll have to postpone this year’s event.

This festival isn’t just about murals. It’s about us — showing up for each other, creating together, and transforming our city with color, connection, and pride.

You’ve helped bring this vision to life before. Now we’re asking:

/// Can you share why you support Arts Build Community?
/// Can you ask one friend to chip in and help us reach the goal?

Every share. Every dollar. Every person. It all adds up — and it all matters.

Let’s finish this together. Let’s keep building.

“We’re all in the same boat.”

Art like this doesn’t just brighten walls — it sparks real conversations and connects us as a community. Help us bring more murals — and more voices — to life at this year’s festival!
