*Click here to view aerial photography *
What an incredible success! A Brush With Frederick brought nearly 1,000 people to Carroll Creek on Saturday, September 4 th. Since than, thousands of spectators have visited Carroll Creek to view the artwork – what a great way to showcase our community! More than 200 squares were painted by families, local businesses, non-profits and other community groups, covering more than 22,000 square feet of concrete along Carroll Creek Park.
Additionally, more than 400 people made their marks on Frederick, signing their names during our Signature Event.
A special thanks to those in our local business community who made this event possible:
- Duron Paints , located on the Golden Mile in Frederick, for their donation of line paint and the discounts offered to event participants on paint supplies.
- Bettina Strauss , local photographer, for the aerial photography of the Brush With Frederick artwork.
- Crouse Aviation , located at the Frederick Airport, for their contribution of a helicopter for the aerial photography.
- Costco , located on Walser Drive in Frederick, for their donation of bottled water on September 4 th – it was a hot afternoon and many people were grateful for the free water we were able to offer!
And thank you to all those who made the planning and success of this event possible – the City’s Department of Public Works, Office of Special Events, Frederick Festival of the Arts, Downtown Frederick Partnership, the Frederick Arts Council, the Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center, local artist Calvin Ed Ramsburg and the Carroll Creek Task Force.
If you haven’t taken the opportunity to walk the creek between Market and Carroll Streets to view the array of community artwork, please do so! This once-in-a-lifetime event will only be visible until January 2005, when the City begins construction of park improvements.
