Off the wall: Youngstown Arts Center paint-out today

The wall along the sidewalk on the Delridge side of Youngstown Cultural Arts Center got a facelift at midday today, thanks to a group of UW students — one of whom is Vitaliy Demyanik (at left in photo below, with participant Inigo Esteban), who manages a local College Pro Painters franchise. He’s a 4th-year student at the UW, and led a team described in the official announcement as “15 students from the Business and Economic Development Center at the Foster School of Business” in today’s cleanup, with donated materials and labor. (The paintout was scheduled for three hours, but when we got there barely 2 hours into it, they’d made quick work of it.)

    White wall – nice base for some anonymous neighborhood artwork. Hope someone with some talent gets a crack at that wall before the boring one word taggers hit it.

    Thanks to Vitaliy and his crew for donating their time and the paint…and not even in their own neighborhood. Nice job!

    Vitaliy did note that West Seattle is part of the area his franchise covers – I realized the blurb above didn’t make that quite clear.

Sorry, comment time is over.
