Volunteers will be gathering in south Wichita for the second annual Brush Up Broadway event on Saturday, May 21st.

Teams will be working to pick up trash, pull weeds and paint over graffiti along South Broadway from Kellogg to Pawnee.  The event begins at 8 a.m. and runs through 2 p.m.

Volunteers are asked to gather at four locations:

After the clean up activities, an art gathering will be held at Lincoln Park, featuring works by local artists.   Local businesses can get information on how to add murals to their buildings.
