SUMMARY:Mural Painting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Background\nSince 2011\, Groundwork Somerville’s staff\, Green Team members\, and community volunteers have worked together to transform a parking lot on South Street into an abundant community farm. For two years they have enlisted the help of community artists to enliven the space with murals along some of the walls. This year\, another wall of plain siding will be transformed into a colorful garden space. \nProcess\nMurals are a way communities add color\, vibrancy\, and life to city spaces. The process for creating a mural follows a number of steps:  \nSketching and Ideas\nThe artist creates a number of sketches based on ideas and concepts for the mural. For this mural\, we focused on a number of design ideas: diversity\, community connectedness\, youth\, and the vibrancy of the farm. Many of the colors were pulled from photographs from the farm produce.  \nCommunity Input\nThe artist chose two final sketches to present to community members at GWS’ Earth Day Celebration. 106 votes were taken by community members to determine the winning design.  \nCleaning and Priming\nPart of what makes a mural unique is that it is outside and open to the elements. It is very important to prep murals so that they last and remain vibrant over time. The priming and prep of the wall – cleaning of dirt and debris – is important so that the mural lasts.  \nPainting\nThe next steps are the painting of the design. The design is blocked off on a grid and then filled in with color. \nSealing\nThe final step is sealing the whole piece with a waterproof layer to protect from the elements. Normally this is done with spray paint. This will ensure that the mural remains water-proof\, doesn’t peel or fade.  \nThe Activity\nVolunteers will help preserve the mural by prepping the wall and priming.\nVolunteers will begin by wiping down the surface of the wall with damp cloths so that the surface of the wall is clean and dry.\nNext\, volunteers will prime the surface with a layer of white paint. Emelia can show an example of how to evenly apply brushstrokes\, but it’s not necessary to be perfect. The paint will dry and the surface will be ready! \nAbout the Artist: \nEmelia Misail is an artist living in Allston and working in Cambridge at Just A Start\, a community development organization around the corner from the South Street Farm. Originally from Pepperell\, MA\, Emelia has been a local artist for several years and completed community projects for the Pepperell Lawrence Library\, Prescott Grange and three local schools. Since moving to Allston\, she has been a part of the City of Boston PaintBox program and has completed large-scale commissions for acrylic and watercolor portraits and landscapes. Her work is inspired by the natural world and rural Massachusetts. \nHer website can be found here:\nhttps://emeliamisail.wixsite.com/emelia-misail

SUMMARY:Cleaning & Greening: Draw 7 Park June 14th 10am-12pm
DESCRIPTION:Did you know there is still snow in Somerville? Draw 7 Park served as a snow farm over the winter and still has the remnants from this winter’s record-breaking storm. While the snow will eventually melt\, the large amount of trash and debris left behind will not. Luckily\, Groundwork Somerville is aiming to help with our brand new Cleaning & Greening Initiative! This new community-based volunteer program consists of monthly projects to improve public spaces around the city of Somerville. The 2015 Cleaning & Greening Season kicked off with: \n\n4/22 – Trash Cleanup with Velir at Kennedy Elementary and the Somerville Library West Branch\n4/25 – Painting\, Planting and Cleanup at 12 locations for the Mayor’s Spring Cleanup\, sponsored by Comcast Cares Day\n5/21 – Painting\, Planting and pollinator gardens projects at South Street Farm\, sponsored by Jules Catering\n\nand continues with \n\n6/14 – Massive cleanup and debris removal in Draw 7 Park\, sponsored by Assembly Row\n7/9 – Painting\, harvesting and irrigation at South Street Farm\, sponsored by East Boston Savings Bank\n8/15 – Project TBD in Davis Square area\, sponsor TBD\n\nSign up to join us from 10am-12pm at Draw 7 Park on June 14th. Thanks to our event sponsors at Assembly Row\, Groundwork Somerville will be working to gather 50+ volunteers to get the park back into shape. Draw 7 Park is located next to the Assembly Square T stop and boarders the Mystic River. Register here: Draw 7 Registration. The snow melt has also made the park very muddy so remember to wear proper footwear to the cleanup! \nDo you know a place in Somerville in need of Cleaning & Greening? Are you interested in sponsoring an event in your neighborhood? We need your help! Please contact Devin Powers at devin@groundworksomerville.org\, or sign up through our Volunteer Form. With the help of individual and business based partnerships\, we are committed to bringing community together to make the city sparkle! \nSee you out there!
