About the Event
The Armory Gallery asked local children to submit drawings of their favorite summer memories. These submissions were then creatively assembled into a community “paint-by-number” mural on canvas. Community members of all ages are invited to help paint this collaborative piece during DBI’s 2026 Summer Solstice Festival. Following the festival, the finished mural will be displayed at the Armory Gallery alongside the original children's drawings.
Thank you to Gilbert Linkous Elementary, Falling Branch Elementary, Harding Elementary, and the Wonder Universe Children’s Museum for participating!
