It’s time to learn
a new vocabulary word: Community Murals
Most people think a “Community Mural” is when you bring an artist to your community center to paint a mural. My new definition is so much more than that! I go to a local community, brainstorm with them about what they want on their mural, create a “paint by numbers” design for them to paint with me. This kind of community mural, with the new definition, gives the people ownership of their mural long after the wandering artist leaves the scene.
