with a little help from friends...

'what would you do if i sang out of tune? would you stand up and walk out on me...lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song...and I'll try not to sing out of key'


Mikey and Wendy met with an artist on Wednesday and signed a contract with her. she will embark on an august endeavor to bring color to the wall!


we will meet with her and a nice sized group of youth on the first two saturdays in august... to hash out ideas~workshop style. the artist will in turn create a collobrative sense of artistic beauty and.... paint... create .... embellish on the empty white wall at 42nd and Mission Rd.


Holly Swangstu is our artist; she has an extensive amount of experience working with young adults on such projects. She graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute and is the director of the Leedy Voulkos Art Center in KC, MO. She is also a colleague and a friend of Joe Faus--the other artist involved with this project.


I will attach her resume and such on the side panel. please take a peek if you have time.


there will also be an opportunity to prep the wall/lot for Holly's endeavors on Saturday July 26th in the afternoon hours. thanks to my friend brian longfellow & and his friend and pastor mindy hancock, we have the commitment of 20 or so volunteers from the Trinity Church of the Nazarene in Rosedale


we will powerwash the wall, do a bit more garden prep, and hopefully pull out some excess weeds and trees. I will post an exact time in the next few days.


cheers, eh?
to change;
to friends.
