Paint for a Cause - Cape Girardeau, MO will be at the Stars and Stripes Museum on Saturday, July 27 for Occupy Bloomfield-our Civil War event. We will also have a food truck on-site. Come by between 10 am and 4 pm.

A new mural is being created for the Stars & Stripes National Museum and Library in Bloomfield, Missouri.

Anyone, any age any ability can paint a triangle for a $2 donation. Paint will be put on the brush and participants will be shown where to paint.  A journal will be kept listing each painter's name, age, job title, and hometown. Painters can paint in memory or in honor of a military person.

This Paint for a Cause project will be ongoing for a year or more.  The public can stop by Painted Wren Art Gallery during business hours or at the Stars and Stripes Museum when the mural is scheduled to be there.

When this mural is finished, ti will be permanently installed on the big, red barn at the Stars & Stripes. The journal and money raised will go to the Museum.

They are seeking venues to host this project, as well as sponsors for the project.

Painted Wren Art Gallery is located at 620 Whitelaw Avenue in Cape Girardeau.
