Call for Art: Paradise Tool Lending Library Mural

The Paradise Tool Lending Library is inching closer to launch, with plans to open later this year. What's the next step? Beautify the Library's storage container with a mural! We're looking for a local artist or art group to take the lead.

What is the PTLL?

By providing free or low-cost access to expensive, rarely used tools, and the know-how to use them, the PTLL helps neighbors on the Ridge maintain fire-safe properties, learn new skills, and work side-by-side to cultivate community and connection.

The mural will be painted on one side of a 40’ x 9’6” shipping container. This opportunity is open to all artists and art groups who demonstrate a strong connection to the Ridge community.
