Come to the Fence Event on Ballard Artwalk Nite

Saturday Night JULY 10th 6-8 pm at the Fence - BIG FUN!

Eight more panels up

Another big day on the fence - Here are a few pictures of the progress.

Seven Panels up on the Fence

We've been prepping, weatherproofing, enlarging, cutting and rolling paint... finally a good day to spend on the corner, installing more ART. Check it out when you are in East Ballard - there will be more going up every week through mid-July.

Adjusting for Weather

With the torrential rains, we are taking a bit more time to prep the pieces before installing. The photo here shows different test panels and materials attached to the fence site.

Therefore, we are not meeting our original timeline for getting several panels up this week...
Watch here for the latest progress.

Calling for IDEAS

ABCDEFG... Each panel references a letter of the alphabet and Ballard culture, plus other random images and shapes. Do you have ideas for a Ballard icons we can include? Let us know by replying in the comment area below.

Painting and Planning

The first panels will be installed the week of JUNE !. We used the great weather last week to prep and paint lots of cardboard outside our studio. Design for the 26 panels has started and we are still looking for big chunks of cardboard and other suitable re-usable materials to attach to the fence.

First Draft

We put up a prototype section of the fence on Thursday... just clipped it on for an hour and took it down after photos. The response and conversation with neighbors and drivers during that time was fantastic! Everyone was so happy about the idea that we would be putting a much bigger version up this summer. We will start rolling installing in June... rolling it out slowly over several weeks.

The theme is loosely organized around the alphabet - with each 12 foot wide panel referencing a letter. Not necessarily in ABCD order, and using Ballard imagery along with obscure images that we like.
Still collecting large cardboard panels (think appliance boxes, etc) and usable free stuff. Contact us with ideas.
