Could we have randomly chosen a more perfect day for painting?! Swing by 706 West Buffalo Street anytime from 3:00 to 7:00 today to help add some color to the new mural!

Will have some old grainy Fringe Fest patches and t-shirts for sale to help fund the mural project. So if you're looking for that old greeny swag you didn't get back in April, you are in luck!
Free lemonade too!

I bet you thought it was over. That after May 3rd Old Greeny sunk back into the lake, waiting to resurface again in a year...10 years...30 years.
Well, have we got a surprise for you and a story to go along with it...!
SPOILER... We're painting a mural on the waterfront trail!
Join us for a COMMUNITY PAINT DAY with artist Margalo and add some color to the wall!
WHEN: Friday, May 22nd from 3pm to 7pm
WHERE: 704-706 West Buffalo St, Ithaca NY
WHAT TO BRING: We've got all the paint supplies and brushes, we just need your steady hands to color in the lines. Wear something you don't mind getting paint on and maybe a sun hat! Bring friends!
Can't join us in person? Make a donation to support the project! We need just about $1845 more to reach our goal and cover the costs of this mural of epic proportions!

Check out the Old Greeny Newsletter!

"As irreverent as it is poignant" (Australian Arts Review). Come for the music, stay for the existential crisis as genre-blurring jester and cellist Karen Hall peels back the layers of formality leaving you with only the humanity and insanity of the artist behind the instrument. And yourself. Winner...
