Last Saturday, we spent the afternoon at Fuller Park for the South Side Youth Explosion Day!
We connected with youth and families across the South Side and invited them to join us in a collaborative art mural. Each young person added their own dreams, ideas, and creativity to the piece.
It was a meaningful opportunity to engage the South Side community and to share our mission to make arts education more accessible for all.
