Joseph is well known as a place of the arts and has been named as Oregon's first city arts and cultural district '" let's demonstrate that to the public and let's celebrate!

People or businesses can sign up by calling Shelley at 541-432-9105 or Lyn at 541-432-0883. Water-based tempura paints will be mixed with liquid detergent for easy washing off later with a hose or by rain. Bring a vehicle, park it downtown on the morning of Aug. 23 and get creative! Paints and brushes will be supplied by the arts council. This project is funded by The Wildhorse Foundation to celebrate Joseph as a place of the arts!
