Help Us Paint a Piece of Delano History! 🎨

Join us for our FINAL community mural painting session as we celebrate 150 years of Delano!

📅 Wednesday, September 16
⏰ 5:00–8:00 PM

Stop in anytime during the evening to join us as we paint a piece of Delano history! Patrons are invited to paint a 3x3" canvas (or two or three!) that will become part of a larger community mural that will hang in the Delano library for years to come.

All ages and skill levels are welcome! Whether you love to paint or just want to try something new, come add your own creative touch to this special community project.

The completed mural will be unveiled during Delano Sesquicentennial - 150th Celebration on October 3rd. We can’t wait to see all the individual pieces come together to create one incredible celebration of our community!

Come paint with us and be part of Delano’s 150th!

We had a BLAST at our first community mural painting session to celebrate Delano Sesquicentennial - 150th Celebrationn!

Members of the community were able to pick an image and replicate it with paint on a 3"x3" canvas. Once all 588 canvas tiles are painted, they will be assembled to create a larger mural that will be unveiled at our community art show in October and hung permanently in the Delano Public Library.

Make sure to mark your calendar to join our next paint session on Saturday April 11th from 10:00am-1:00pm-- drop in at any point to help us create a piece of Delano History!
