Community and Public Art Week: Monday, July 18 – Friday, July 22, 2022
Semana de la Communidad y el Arte Publico: Lunes, 18 de julio a viernes, 22 de julio, 2022 Funding by the Josephine Gumbiner Foundation and @genesisinspirationfoundation
Public art has served as an agent for the representation of communities and development of identity in urban spaces. Engaging collaborative activities such as mural making, dance, and music, provide a collective space for the exchange of ideas and elevating the voices of individuals. The program this week aimed to inspire underserved youth to work together for a common goal and promote messages of diversity, inclusion, and equity in both the museum and within their own communities.
