Wilow Falcon and Michael Porter, owners of Noshie’s and Glassphemy  in downtown Pullman, have generously donated a wall on their building on Kamiaken St that faces SE Paradise St.  In order to complete this mural we will need to raise funds to rent scaffolding, hire a painter to paint the primer coat on the wall, purchase paint for the mural, additional supplies, an honorarium for the artist and funds will be used to cover the wholesale cost of the donation gifts mentioned above..  The photo above is a mock up of what the mural will look like on the donated wall.
