SAVE THE DATE! The third annual Paint the Town Red will be held April 16, 2011 in downtown Birmingham. Will you be there?
For one night in April… the blank brick walls and window fronts of 2nd Avenue North in Birmingham’s Loft District will be transformed into canvases for stunning digitally created art: graphic art, digital photography and digital animated shorts… all projected. In it’s third year, Paint the Town Red is an innovative fundraiser for the Birmingham Chapter of the American Red Cross. It combines stunning visuals, eclectic live music and great street food.
