Street Painting Festival Fundraiser during Artbeat 2014

Saturday JULY 19th the Somerville Arts Council has organized Artbeat, one of the area's largest and most innovative arts festivals, with over a dozen bands, dance troupes, craft vendors, food and hatch-themed activities.

Among those activities is my event:
STREET PAINTING FESTIVAL FUNDRAISER
where street painters (YOU!) transform Dover Street in Davis Square using pastels on pavement to create vibrant and colorful, large scale images.
This part of the festival benefits the Dana Farber Cancer Institute through donations made to the Pan Mass Challenge, which raises money for life-saving cancer research through an annual bike-a-thon.

Help me reach my fundraising goal by participating in a fun day in sunny Somerville and getting in touch with your creative side. Don't like sun? Or Somerville? Wear sunscreen and tell your friends. Sharing a chalk painting square is more fun with friends. Share this event!

When you donate $75 (split it with three friends!), I'll designate a 4' x 6' plot of sidewalk with your (or your businesses) name. Want more space? Donate $100, $200 or $500!

To make a donation of any amount, click here: https://www2.pmc.org/donation.asp 
Enter my name or HB0078
A confirmation will be sent to me when your donation is complete then spend a beautiful Somerville Saturday on July 19th making that square your own!
