Kids Paint The Town was committed to having local kids artwork on display in the East Bay during September 2007 and we did it!
The project was created as a way to get art back into our daily lives and from the idea that making a difference in our immediate community should be fun and easy; seeing it as, if each person did their part we would all succeed in making a difference!
Focused on East Bay neighborhoods of the San Francisco Bay Area, we were hopeful that this would become a seasonal project and that it would grow not only in this community but would be adopted by other regions. The project has morphed and we have partnered with MOCHA to create an even bigger and better show!
Thank you to our September 2007 locations and artists...
