We are raising money for a new outdoor public art project in Pullman, Washington which is located on the ceded lands of the Nimíipuu (Nez Perce) Tribe and the traditional homelands of the Palus Band of Indians. This will be a unique, site-specific painted mural created on a building that houses several popular stores, including Thomas Hammer Coffee Shop and Lily Bee’s Boutique. The wall is evident from the Downtown Riverwalk pedestrian, bike, and multi-modal trail that connects Pullman’s downtown to Reaney Park and the WSU Visitor Center. The mural will measure roughly 100 feet wide by 22 feet high, approximately 2,200 square feet of space. With your support, the mural project will be implemented in the summer of 2023.
Your funds will be used for:
- design fees
- artist fees including labor
- high quality artist primer, paint and UV protective clear coat
- scaffolding rental
