Fences Down Community Painting Project
Project Overview: Join us in celebrating the 400th anniversary of Burlington Island by participating in our Fences Down Community Painting Project! This initiative invites groups and individuals to sponsor and paint sections of a fence bordering the Delaware River adjacent to Burlington Island, NJ. Let’s come together to create a vibrant display of family, community, and love for our town.






How It Works:
Fences Down Community Painting
-
Sponsor a Section: For just $25, you can sponsor a section of the railing and renew your sponsorship annually.
-
Paint Your Way: Each sponsor will have the opportunity to paint their section within the guidelines of decorum – no profanity, no advertising, and nothing political or controversial. Artwork should reflect themes of family, community, and love for the town and island.
-
Project Timeline: The painting project starts on August 19, 2024, and runs through October 7, 2024. The finished railing will be unveiled on October 12, 2024, during the Burlington Island 400th anniversary celebration.
