Here’s just one of our favorite Rileystreet Art Supply moments! From last Fall! In the first photo artists Chris McKee and Merrill Vargo are installing figures for the new Art Alley Mural at SOFA Santa Rosa. Thats Marla Allison, Christie Marks and Cade Burkhammer in the other pix.

Riley Street arranged for Liquitex to donate the acrylic paint we used to create the mural imagery! Honestly, that donation made the project affordable.

We love Riley Street! Thank you!
