Help Bring Color, Creativity & Safer Streets to McKinleyville! ✨

We’re raising $20,000 to transform Hiller Road—one of McKinleyville’s most traveled walking and biking corridors—through community-painted street murals and creative pedestrian safety improvements as part of the Hiller Road Quick Build Project, launching Fall 2025!

What’s the Quick Build Mural Project?

This collaborative initiative—led by Sea Goat Farmstand & Folk School, in partnership with Humboldt County Public Works, the McKinleyville Municipal Advisory Committee (MMAC), and the MMAC’s (Sub) Committee for Active Transportation—is designed to bring low-cost, high-impact changes to our streets that make them safer, more vibrant, and more welcoming for everyone.

Why Murals? Why Now?

These aren’t just murals—they’re traffic-calming tools, community-building platforms, and expressions of place. By placing bold, meaningful artwork directly on the pavement at key intersections, this project will:

Encourage drivers to slow down using visual cues

‍♀️ Make pedestrians and cyclists more visible and safe

Celebrate local artists and youth creativity

❤️ Strengthen neighborhood identity and pride

Foster joy, beauty, and belonging in shared public spaces

What Your Donation Supports:

Your contribution—no matter the size—directly supports:

Stipends for local artists

High-quality outdoor paints & mural materials

Community mural painting days (open to all!)

Youth community engagement

Tribal Art Representation

Signage, site planning, and traffic safety support

We’ve already received sponsorships from local businesses and community organizations, but we still need help from neighbors, walkers, bikers, families, and YOU to fully fund this bold, people-powered project. Every little bit helps!

Let’s Raise $20,000 Together!

Goal: $20,000
Location: Hiller Road (between Central Ave and McKinleyville Ave)
️ Target Completion: October 2025

Whether you walk Hiller, bike to school, push a stroller, run errands, or just want to see more color and community spirit in McKinleyville—your donation makes a difference.

Help us build a safer, more beautiful McKinleyville—one mural at a time.
