This project will create additional arts programming to extend a pilot project with some new adjustments. Funding will 1) create additional workshop programming for in-person art class workshops; 2) help to expand into offering a set of new virtual workshops with accompanying art tool kits for students; 3) host a community style art activity table during local events and market.
An exhibit planner will be hired to lead a project team of subject matter experts, artists, and lay-people through planning, design, and implementation of a web-based exhibit that expands the current work of the Philando Castile Peace Garden, including contemporary knowledge of racial history, community trauma, and the role of art, peace, grief, and healing in the wake of police violence.
