The public participatory art project with the artfridge, which gets painted over every time again,

it stands beautifully up, can be worked on from all 4 sides at the same time. 

The paintings are brief moments for our memories to be documented through the experience and photography, lost with the next layer of paint.

All ages welcome, bring a throw away T shirt to protect your clothing, and washable paint.
