Like the diversity of Southtown, the murals present a huge canvas and depict the cultural mosaic of this community in a very colorful style.

ArtWorks students explored our community to create a series of murals that reflect the history, people and cultures of the Southtown area and the surrounding neighborhoods.

It is more than fixing up houses or doing beautification projects... it is about building commitment among our neighbors, it is about building community!
