Newest Project for this month:
Prop making: Exploding Oil Trains in Seattle! We’ll be painting and cutting cardboard to create a very simple and effective one sided prop of oil cars on fire and leaking oil, with messaging printed on them to spread the word about these dangerous trains coming through now with 8x as many proposed (3.5/day).
Please reply to Lisa if you can help gather materials or want to help finish details of the Oil Train design this week!
” we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

RSVP on Facebook!
Join us to offer ideas of imagery that your group wants support creating at the next art builds!
This Sunday we’ll make:
- A Fiery Leeky Oil Train prop
- A deer fencing banner “Rise Up!” for the MLK march
- Signs for WAmend signature gatherers.
- Beautiful and colorful batik butterfly flags because migration is beautiful! Make one or more and take one home (see picture below). Wednesday is Immigrant Rights Day
- Gorgeous and colorful batik water banners for Salish Sea Marine Sanctuary. Find out about the effort to establish the sanctuary HERE
- leftover latex paint: white primer for lettering, black for oil cars (we need lots of this), Red, Orange and Yellow for engine and fire.
- webbing (long lengths of 1″ width or so) for straps and leftover fabric for the packs that we’ll make later in the month
Support artists and organizers by making a contribution for materials and their skilled guidance. (Just put “Seattle Community Art Build” in the dedication section)
