Help paint a reading-themed mural in Downtown Urbana!
Work with professional muralist Langston Allston to paint a mural in downtown Urbana!
Register in advance to sign up for a time to paint. Registration will open on Monday, March 28. All painting spots are for one hour time blocks. We recommend you wear old clothes and a mask that you don't mind getting paint on because we will be using spray paint. All children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
Langston Allston has been creating public art and showing work nationally since 2017. His portfolio includes a residency with the National Public Housing Museum in Chicago, a duo show with Demond Melancon at MOCADA in Brooklyn, and a multimedia collaboration with poet Kevin Coval on his book Everything Must Go. Langston's work is rooted in observation and storytelling, and his mural work comes from a process of collaboration, reflection, and working closely with peers, community members, and culture bearers.
Paid for in part by the City of Urbana Arts and Culture Grant and The Urbana Free Library Foundation. Cosponsored by Cunningham Township Supervisor's Office.
