Bringing Funk to Funktown: Community Rejuvenaton Project Inagurates New Artist District with Block Party

The First Town Funk Block party is happening this Saturday, June 5th, in tribute to Michel Jackson. This is an opportunity to personally meet the Community Rejuvenation Project Team and above all enjoy some bands, performers, and free food.



    Our mission states, "The Community Rejuvenation Project cultivates healthy communities through beautification, education, and celebration,” our overall goal is to use our artistic skill to directly serve the community.
         
    Since our last youth program during the summer, we have made the goal of engaging the community as much as possible. Days before each mural we assemble our team to do all that we can to research on local history.
 
     It is highly important to project a positive and healthy message to the people, but maintain artistic elegance. Our team is trained to understand how each image and wall is sacred by blessing and cleaning the surrounding areas.
 
    We take care of our murals as much as we do as our homes. Not only do we come to give a beautiful mural, but while we are painting we often provide food, music, and a safe environment for the community. We are a collective of artists, despite where we might come from, we are banding together to celebrate where we are now, Oakland.

    The Town Funk Block party is a chance for the community to meet us as individual artists and how we work as a collaborative team. We strive to meet new independent artisans and organizations that are serious about helping expand our network of resources.

    We would love to get a full on team for gardening, food distribution, community outreach, and of course more painters who are committed to give as much as we are giving. Come meet us and our network of friends who are already contributing to Oakland with what we all have to offer.
