Community Art Project


  • East Side Mags 7 South Fullerton Ave Montclair, NJ 07042 United States (map)

East Side Mags is bringing back the COMMUNITY ART PROJECT and our FIRST MAJOR EVENT for 2020!

It’s been a rough year for all of us and we want to bring the community something that will make all of our weekends a little brighter!

We’re bringing back the community art project like we did for Free Comic Book Day in 2017 but with a NEW TWIST!

We’ll be building a GIANT 6’ x 8’ canvas out of smaller canvases and we cordially invite the community to come out (masks required) and paint on it. Paint whatever you want - your favorite food, your favorite superhero, what you did during quarantine, what you’re looking forward to later this year or in 2021, your favorite band - you get it!

Once the canvas is complete, we’ll break it apart and raffle off the pieces with 100% of the proceeds going to support ALLWOOD PLAY & LEARN in Clifton, NJ - a little Pre-K school with a BIG heart!

There is NO ENTRY FEE. Just come by and paint.

We will be wearing masks (required) and practicing social distancing. We’ll have all the supplies needed - all we need is you.

NOTE: If you would like to schedule a time to come by and paint, please feel free to call us at 862-333-4961 or reach out through our contact page. We’ll block a spot for you if you want. However, reservations are NOT required.

We’ll be outside the shop every Saturday from July 18th through September 12th (if the canvas lasts that long) from 12pm-5pm.

So come by. Get those creative juices flowing! And let’s create something AMAZING that we’ll all be able to remember for years to come!
