Green Lights a Go!



Good news! The mayor and the city’s art commission gave us “the green light” for our intersection art project. The design submitted by Fairhaven Middle School student Willow Hughes, won neighborhood and city approval. After approval Willow said, “I’m very excited about my art being chosen for the Happy Valley Community Crossroad project. Now a piece of my art can be presented to everyone, those who live in the Happy Valley neighborhood and others. I’m also excited that something I’m good at will make a difference in Bellingham.” With the weather turning wet and colder, it has been decided to plan on a spring 2014 paint day. This will allow us as a neighborhood to prepare, working with the city to determine logistics for the day, a paint day strategy, and festivity preparations.  If you are interested in helping organize the day, contact Aaron. But for now, hurray for another step toward a successful paint day!

Green Light from the Arts Commission!

Good news! Last night the city’s art commission gave us “the green light” for our intersection art project. It now goes to the mayor for final approval. Now we need to discern if we can paint this fall or if we should wait for the spring. Pray for a long stretch of dry weather!

There will be some steps that need to take place before paint day. If you want to help with the process let us know. But for now, hurray for another step toward a successful paint day!
