We have just $1000 more to raise to cover the costs of the new mural at 706 W. Buffalo Street on the waterfront trail in Ithaca.

Here's a few shots from the community painting session yesterday! The Ithaca Dragon Boat Club paddled up to meet us, docked near the new Dos Amigos food truck on the waterfront trail and walked over to paint the dragon boat scales.

Shout out to Margalo, the artist, for all the amazing work that has been completed thus far.
Big thanks to the neighbors at Garrison Barbershop , Uncle Marty's Shipping Office, Black Irish Boxing and Ithaca Boat Tours.

This program is made possible in part with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant program from the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of the office of the Governor and NYS Legislature, administered by the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County.

Join us for a COMMUNITY PAINT DAY with artist Margalo and add some color to the wall!
