Polish the Pearl: Clean & Create

Apr 2 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Free

Please join SOLVE for a litter cleanup in the Pearl District! We will meet at Jamison Square, where you can sign in and pick up your supplies. Then, we will branch off for cleanup throughout the Pearl after a brief safety talk, working to beautify our neighborhoods and create a healthier environment. After the event, please join us for an hour of creativity where we will be led through a sustainable art activity by the wonderful Fry! You can check out their work at https://www.kfrydraws.com. Together, we will polish up the Pearl District and get creative before the bustling crowds roll in for all the fun of First Thursdays!
