This is what happens when you bring community together around public art!

Four community organizations, 20 youth participants and countless stories are reflected in this new mural on the front façade of The Avenue Concept headquarters on the South Side. Nonviolence Institute, Rhode Island Latino Arts, Haus of Codec & Providence World Music brought together their collective creativity, along with Artolution and Art Educator Anna Chapman to make a community work of art that weaves in themes and stories that reflect the community around The Avenue Concept. Collaborators on this project included residents of the area. They chose a variety of topics to paint into the mural including drug abuse, gentrification, police brutality and animal welfare.

This project was made possible with the support of The Papitto Opportunity Connection

Material: C2 Paint, Montana Gold Spray Paint
