Here’s a handy diagram of the paint location.
Please bring $10 ($15 if you want to share paint) to pay your share of the cost of outfitting the site.
Please arrive early; it gets crowded towards the end. Get painted, then move outside to make space for others, unless you’re 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.
There will be a couple of spray-paint stations.
Please clean up your paint area when you’re done. Bring any usable left-over paint (if it’s acrylic) and brushes to the central table and throw everything else away.
Please do not leave anything you care about at CSR Marine; nobody will be looking after it. If you forget something there, you may be able to pick it up during the clean up the next day, but don’t count on it.

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.
