Spilling Paint

I attended an event at the Spill Paint Not Oil collective art space recently, and took a few photos of some of the printed and painted work hanging on their walls. 

One wall holds smaller silk-screened cards and sheets on a range of topics:

Two of these are about the Atlanta Cop City (or Stop Cop City), and defending the forest where Cop City is planned. The upper two are specific to Minneapolis, related to the eviction of encampments of Indigenous people and the East Phillips Urban Farm, which is proposed to replace a former warehouse with a farm and community hub instead of a city Public Works yard, which would bring hundreds of heavy truck trips per day.

Larger pieces are painted, like this banner from the Stop Line 3 protests:

A collection of painted vegetables were gathered on a table in front of a painting of the Urban Farm water tower:

There were a lot more but that gives an idea.
