What you should bring:
Fabric for your banner — Flat sheets work great! Avoid any fabric that’s shiny or coated.
Cardboard or other material for posters + signs
An idea for where you want to hang your banner or poster, so you know what size to make it
What we’ll provide:
GoGo beats on the stereo
Paint for all banners and signs
Snacks w/ free Mumbo Sauce
We’ll have brushes but you can also bring your own
Projector for banner tracing
Printed flyers you can take and put up around your neighborhood
Space to paint
