paint your faith

It is with great pleasure to present to the city of Vancouver, the community of the downtown east side and the rest of the world with an amazing piece of collaborative art work created by Indigo (http://indigosadventures.wordpress.com/), Titi Freak http://www.tfreak.com/, Faith47 (http://www.faith47.com/) and Peeta (http://www.peeta.net/).

On April 28th, we hosted a reveal to press, First United Mission stakeholders and staff, the public and friends from the neighbourhood.  First Mission United (http://firstunited.ca/) announced an amazing building project that will help them continue the amazing work they already do in the DTES.

If you live in Vancouver or are visiting please get down to the corner of W.Hastings St. and Abbott and view this spectacular piece of art work.

Visit us at www.paintyourfaith.com and leave a comment and share this with friends for your chance to win a print from one of the artists.  We will be giving four people a chance to win one piece.

Paint Your Faith Vancouver Mural Completed

It has been a gruelling week for all of our artists, and our film crew who are here shooting a treatment for the potential documentary we hope to do.  We have survived the crazy weather out here, one of our DP’s made it threw a beer can to the head, and we still managed to get in a few good dinners, some drinks and got to know each other better.

Here is a pic just before the final last touches. Big difference from where we started just last week.

mural just before completion just a few more touches and a bit of work

What an experience it has been.  We started with an empty canvas, a messy and dirty lot filled with needles, garbage, weeds and completely neglected and we are now at the end.

Below is Indigo putting the final leaf and finishing the mural.
