The space above Company Brewing will be open this weekend hosting different art builds with Just Seeds Collective and Voces and community members are welcome to stop in to check out what is happening and donate materials leading up to Tuesday.
Materials Needed:
-blue, white, silver spray paint
-paint sharpies for mosaic tiles (variety of colors)
-poster board
-drop canvas for banners
-handdrawn drawings for coloring pages/kids area (can be emailed/fb messaged to us for printing out)
-sawhorses for painting banners, etc.
More Info About This Years Projects:
Last year we had a collective project where people could make justice rocks and leave them at the memorial or take them home. This year we will be doing something similar with mosaic tiles for people to leave and add to the floor of the memorial – emphasizing the permanance of Dontre’s memory.
We also did stencils and t-shirts last year that people could take to wear and spread awareness in Milwaukee. This year we will be providing materials for free patches instead of t-shirts, but guests are free to bring other items or clothing if they want to to stencil their own designs.
The Coalition For Justice is also working with Pete Railand from Just Seeds Collective to make posters, banners, and signs for the march/rally for the walk from Center Street Library to Red Arrow Park on Dontre Day.
If you can donate materials please feel free to bring them by the space this weekend or Tuesday evening. The space will be open and can be accessed at the door to the very far right of the building and up the stairs.
If you have questions/ideas/input/concerns or just want more information about getting involved please feel free to message Jenna Knapp or Freesia McKee.
