Work on the Living Mural will continue throughout the coming year. See the Living Mural Manifesto

Painting the Living Mural actually began with a poetic dramatization of what was on the minds of each of the mural participants.

The group then transferred images to paper and glued them up on a mock-mural. And the imagery of the Mural was developed.

Here Lily Yeh examines the mock-mural.

The symbols developed in the courtyard dramatization blended colorfully to define the first section of the mural.

Painting the mural took about 3 hours.

Around the corner from the Living Mural, the DramaDawgs were showcasing their skits which highlight dogs up for adoption at local shelters.

Here is the group posing in front of the mural.
