Bring your friends and family to the official San Antonio FUNDRED pick-up.
Fundred is a nationwide art project led by artist Mel Chin that encompasses tens of thousands of 100 dollar bills made by people of all ages. These valuable drawings will be picked up at collection centers across the country by Chin's armored "Sous Terre" truck and presented to the U.S. Congress with a request for an even exchange of the creative capital–your Fundreds–for real funding to make safe lead-polluted soils in New Orleans. Once we create a lead-safe New Orleans, this innovative environmental model will be available to other lead-polluted cites.
Chin's crew will arrive in San Antonio on the afternoon of March 4th. Join us as we welcome the project and deliver our cities contribution to the fund, and take your hand at making your own FUNDRED contribution!
