Painting parties
Main painting party
A location for the main painting party has yet to be announced.
Please bring $10 ($15 if you want to share paint) to pay your share of the cost of renting and outfitting the site.
Please arrive early; it gets crowded towards the end. Get painted, then move outside to make space for others, unless you are helping others get painted.
Shared paint and paint brushes will be available (though the selection may be thin towards the end). Get some paint in a small container and move away from the table to paint up. Bring the left-overs back to the central table and get your next color.
Please clean up your paint area when you’re done. Bring any usable left-over paint to the central table and throw the rest away.
You can leave stuff at the paint party, but it won’t be available till the clean-up party on Sunday, and its security isn’t guaranteed (though the building will be locked).

The Painted Cyclists have long been a fixture of the Fremont Solstice Parade – an event created and produced by the Fremont Arts Council. The parade is a fantastic and whimsical celebration of the return of the sun, complete with larger than life puppets, floats, and street performers.
The Painted Cyclists engage and entertain the crowd with our boldness, bareness and enthusiasm. Join us as we welcome summer to Seattle with an outpouring of artistic expression, fossil fuel free travel and fun.
