Painted Tires in the Alleyway

Last Sunday, we began the creation of a tire garden in the back of the alleyway, between Esplanade and 1st & Lonsdale, by painting the tires different colours: Blues, Pink, Yellow and Green.



We had a lot of fun painting the tires, and I want to thank all the participants for coming out and painting them, it wouldn't have been as fun without you :)


Part of what made the activity a success was having support from a few small businesses.  CBR Products is a paint company located in Vancouver and they graciously provided the paint for the tires as a in-kind donation.  Cafe for Contemporary Art provided us with space to work in and a place to display the tires once they were finished.  Two Daughters Bakeshop provided a in-kind donation of their delicious mini-doughnuts for participants to enjoy.  Without small businesses like those mentioned above we wouldn't have been able to pull this off, thank you.

Moving forward, I've been thinking about doing a winter garden theme in the alleyway, so stay tuned.
