Join us on the first day of Spring from 1-3pm as mural artist Alex Smith and Victoria Theater Arts Center staff and volunteers guide in the creation of murals for justice and healing.This event is free and open to anyone who needs the tools to creatively grieve and heal during these uncertain and tumultuous times.
In addition to paint, plywood, and creative support, accupuncturist Dr. Christine Grisham and associates will be present to offer physical healing, mental health information and resources will be available, and non-perishable food donations. Feel free to take or bring food anytime between 12pm-3pm (remainders will be donated to a food shelf).
"SAY HER NAME" by Sydney Latimer, a Multi-Media Street Art Memorial Shrine honoring Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, and Aiyanna Stanley-Jones, will also be on display and open for prayer and reflection.
An additional shrine honoring the 8 people killed in Atlanta this week will be on display as well.
This event is part of VTAC's newly established Community Trauma Response program, which aims to provide safe, healing, creative spaces and resources that will be available to the public any time there are events that provoke collective grief or trauma.
Mural painting stations will be set up at the open lot between Demera and Ryan Plumbing, two spaces down from our future space, 825 University. Rain cover and limited seating is available. Please note: there is no public bathroom on site, but facilities can be used at Demera Restaurant.
