The children from Riga schools will paint the concrete fence of the Freeport of Riga along Eksporta Street

On 25th April 2003 the children from Riga schools will paint the concrete fence of the length of 1160 meters in the Freeport of Riga territory along Eksporta Street. The Riga City Council has granted 885 LVL from the City development fund in order to organise this activity. The concrete fence consists of 290 blocks. It is planned that the children from Riga city and region schools will carry out the decorative monumental painting on 25th April 2003 starting at 10:00 until 14:00. The paintings will be dedicated to marine subject – port development during centuries, symbolism of port operators, ships, yachts, as well as sea and River Daugava underwater scenes. Actualising of the project will grant to the visually unattractive image of the concrete wall an informative and colourful activity and currently expressionless city environment will obtain new meaning.
