Galveston, Texas (USA)
BwB Galveston began in 2017 after Hurricane Harvey with 2 disaster recovery projects, followed by the Civic Ignition eco art grant from Burning Man Project. This gifting funded our first installation of the Seawall Mural Project. Our local mini Burn gathering “Sea Escape” funded the 2nd installment in what we hope to be a trio of murals on Babe’s Beach.
We currently have secured primer paints purchased for the 3rd & final installment mural, but we need your help to fund the rest of the paint to cover a 12-15ft wall! Our Seawall is our storm surge protector built in 1902-1904 after the Storm of the Century, the 1900 Storm that wiped out the island. Our ancestors built this wall to protect future generations & our paint seals and secures the Seawall. It is a work of art that strengthens the integrity of the wall.
You can help with any gifting to Venmo/Paypal BwBGalveston@hotmail.com and come volunteer on painting days-open to public, radically inclusive, Leave No Trace gathering.
