Community Paint Days Hosted by K Space Contemporary

Be part of something bigger—one brushstroke at a time. As an official community partner of the 2026 Mural Fest, K Space Contemporary invites the public to participate in a series of open Community Paint Days where residents and visitors can help create a collaborative mural project that will be unveiled during First Friday ArtWalk on June 5th.

No experience is necessary, all materials are provided, and all ages are welcome. Whether you stay for a few minutes or a few hours, every contribution becomes part of the final artwork.

About the Event

Community Paint Days offer a hands-on opportunity for the public to engage directly with the creative process behind Mural Fest. Hosted inside K Space Contemporary, these interactive sessions allow community members to help paint sections of a large-scale collaborative artwork that will later be revealed during ArtWalk festivities.

Participants can drop in during scheduled paint sessions and contribute under guided direction from organizers and artists. The project is designed to be accessible, welcoming, and fun for all skill levels.

This event reflects the spirit of Mural Fest by bringing together art, community participation, and downtown activation in a meaningful and memorable way.
