Our Town. Our Children. A Social Awareness Art Project goal is to bring community awareness and understanding to the detrimental effects that unstable environments have on children’s emotional development, while providing a creative, artistic avenue for children and families to freely express their emotions, moods, and feelings. While the program is open to all children/youth, our primary focus is at-risk, marginalized, socioeconomically challenged children/youth who identify as Latinx, Mexican, Mexican-American, Chicano, i.e. people of color within the local community. Program includes murals, art workshops, guest speakers, and other activities.
