Recent School Mural Project Launches Paint for the People and the Planet Earth Day Fundraiser for CITYarts
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 03/16/15 -- , a company specializing in paint formulated without volatile organic compounds (VOCs), recently partnered with the nonprofit to bring the students of Alexander Robertson School in New York City a hands-on, mural painting experience. Together, they created a 400-square foot mural designed to represent the colorful connection people have to each other and the natural world. Painted entirely with Colorhouse environmentally-friendly, low odor paint, the mural is now a permanent and meaningful addition to the school''s auditorium.
