• Friday, May 15: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Be a part of a lasting legacy in our community.

Brookings residents are invited to a Community Painting Party as we celebrate America’s 250th Birthday.

The Brookings Regional Growth Alliance is working with the community, creating a patriots’ flag mosaic mural, made with over 950 tiles, each one hand-painted by Brookings residents. Once finished, this mural will be displayed on the north side of the VFW at 520 Main Avenue.

There is no cost to paint and participants can come and go at any time during the day. No need to bring anything other than your creativity. All participants will receive a materials and instructions. Those interested in a little inspiration, can watch a tutorial found at this link.

Save the Date for the Big Reveal!

After all the tiles are gathered and placed, join us for the grand unveiling at VFW Parking Lot (North of 520 Main Ave) on Thursday, June 4, 2026, at 7:00 PM

The mural project is funded through a grant from the Brookings Public Art Commission.
