Got paint?

Offering is looking for some paint:

A few years ago Offering started pioneering a new venture called Arts in the Alley – take a downtown, or inner-city alley, one that needs some loving attention, clean it up with the help of volunteers on a Saturday, then host an arts festival and paint murals on the walls of the alley. We created outdoor art galleries in Shockoe Bottom in 2008, in Beijing China in 2009, and now we are heading into Church Hill on March 12 and 13.

We have a location (Mount Olivet Church on 25th Street), we have mural designs, and we have volunteers (email us if you are interested!) – but we need paint! Or rather, sponsors for paint. A gallon of double duty primer/paint costs around $30 (we buy in bulk at that point), and a gallon of paint $38. We need 15 gallons of primer/paint and 15 gallons of paint, totaling about $1000. So: we are looking for paint sponsors: 15 people to sponsor a gallon of primer, and another 15 people to sponsor a gallon of paint. Can you help? Either transfer the money via paypal to info@offeringband.com with a note “gallon of primer” or “gallon of paint”, or send a check made out to Offering to PO Box 35423, and again, make the same notes.
