It's Round 4 in the Paint New West Beautiful series, and you're invited to take part.
The fourth in a series of public art painting projects, organized by Nadine Nakagawa and Mary Trentadue, is getting set to beautify the fence at Sixth and Belmont streets, uptown.
Artist Merril Hall has provided the design, and now the community is invited to turn out to help paint it in. The painting session is set for Saturday, Sept. 15 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Supplies are provided, but you can feel free to bring your own paint brush if you wish. The event is accessible and family-friendly.
Previous Paint New West Beautiful projects have taken place on the washroom building at Moody Park, on the West End firehall and on a wall near the Army & Navy on Columbia Street.
This latest edition is taking place with funding from Vancouver Foundation Neighbourhood Small Grants and the Arts Council of New Westminster. Jolene Foreman of Custom Realty provided help with organizing the canvas.
You can find all the details and RSVP at the Facebook event (search for Paint New West Beautiful).
