Courtyard Cleanup - Update!

Last Saturday the weather held off just long enough for us to get our hands dirty and do some cleaning! With two strong guys to do the heavy lifting, one power saw, and one determined guy on the leaf blower we were able to stuff a dumpster full of rain-soaked tables and leaves. Now that the gunk is out, up next - the decorating!  Anyone have any ideas? How would you like to see the Art House Courtyard look?

Just a few simple cuts ... and we're done!

Those white boards ... they were once a bookcase!

Why ... where did all that junk and leaves go?

Courtyard Cleanup!

All it needs is a little elbow grease and it'll sparkle like new!

We're gearing up for summer and starting a bit of "spring cleaning" on the Art House. Are you free tomorrow afternoon? Wanna join us for some fun in the sun? We have big plans for the Art House Courtyard this summer (community art projects, tea parties, concerts, variety shows, oh my!) but first, we need to get all the winter dust and grim out. We're looking for some folks to pull weeds, haul wood and trash, and help with overall tidying.
 
Feel free to stop by anytime from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, May 4th. 
 
If you'd like to help out but are unable to join us tomorrow, we're always looking for supplies: trash bags, rakes, gardening tools, sand, extra house paint, brooms, and dustpans - basic yard supplies. Let us know!

We're at 6340 Lyndale Avenue South - Richfield, MN 55423. 

See you then!
