David Johnson and Patrick Cant came by last weeken

David Johnson and Patrick Cant came by last weekend to install their collaborative painting, ‘Alder Conservation Camp Inmate Hand Crew Fighting the Glass Fire,’ (2021). The painting honors the work of local firefighters, and also photojournalist Jose C. Fajardo, who appears in the upper right corner of the painting. His photograph was the basis for the imagery. Come see this one in person! Here’s a sneak peek at the work in the Third Street windows as well.
