Progress on the “Grow Healthy” Mural Project

Posted on May 17, 2011 by admin

Youth Spirit Artworks young artists are in the process of completing our new 10 ft. x 20 ft. long ceramic tile “Grow Healthy” mural for S. Berkeley focusing on bridging the health disparities gap in our community. The mural project has involved over 400 local residents painting individual messages on 6 x 6 inch tiles pledging to do one special thing in the future to take better care of their health. Artists Jose Gonzalez and Morgan DeLorenzo along with Christian Leon Guerrero, Jackie Scott and Chris Henderson have carried out the design for the health tile mural. The mural will be installed in September with our unveiling event scheduled for October! Stay tuned! Gifts to support the mural can be made via YSA’s web site!
