Community Painting in Burien
Join Urban ArtWorks and your Burien neighbors on Sunday, August 23, from 10 AM–4 PM for a Community Paint Day at Nomad Overland Adventures.
Local artist Abigail Penfold has designed a mural inspired by adventure, freedom, and exploration, and we need YOU to help paint it! Bring your family, friends, neighbors, or coworkers and help create a lasting piece of public art for the Burien community.
