As part of its public art activation projects, the ArtWalk committee has organized over 50 intergenerational artists in a project to paint posts. These posts are decorating spaces at the Lexington Visitors' Center, Emery Park, and the Munroe Center for the Arts. The posts are up this spring from March 12 - April 30 (note: there will be two installation dates in March).

ARTIST TIPS:
- Use bright colors and bold designs that can be seen from a distance
- Please do not use this opportunity as a way to advertise. We invite artists to put a small logo or QR code that leads viewers to your website, but we ask that the overall work is seen as "art"
- Painting needs to be waterproof to withstand the elements outdoors. Some options include:
- Be sure to paint post with the bottom with the end that has a hole in it
- Posts will be mounted onto rebar (hence hole) and none of it will be underground. Posts may be covered in snow however.
