River Jam caps off a year-long endeavor by CWC’s Artists-in-Residence, The Jams, to create vibrant San Lorenzo River artwork with support from the Central Coast Creative Corps. The event will kick off with a community bike ride from Beach Flats Park, meeting at 10:30 am. The ride includes a tour of several murals painted by The Jams over the last year, including a hummingbird mural at the Beach Flats produce truck, the “Water is Life” mural on Third Street, and the “Catching Some Air” mural of skateboarding birds at Mike Fox Park!
