Three Thirty Three Arts (formerly KA Dragon School) infuses neighborhoods with art to make areas more cheery and businesses more noticeable. The result is a vibrant community contribution of murals and a platform for emerging artists' work, which helps build their portfolio. They are funded solely on donations so their model doesn't allow cost to be a barrier to entry for small business owners interested in making their buildings and community look and feel better. If you'd like to find out more about supporting them or even getting a mural done, contact Sage Loring at [email protected]. #oakland #murals #muralstreetart #muralsart
