THIS WAS AN EIGHT WEEK SUMMER MURAL ARTS PROGRAM DONE ON THE SIDE OF PILGRIM SCREW COMPANY ON SPRAGUE STREET IN PROVIDENCE. THIS PROJECT WAS DONE WITH KIDS FROM THE WEST END HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORP AND THE SMITH HILL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORP.
EACH GROUP MET ONCE A WEEK FOR EIGHT WEEKS FROM 10AM UNTIL 2:30PM. THE KIDS PRIMED THE WALL, BRAINSTORMED IDEAS, DESIGNED THE IMAGES, GRIDDED THE WALL, TRANSFERRED THE DRAWINGS TO THE WALL AND THEN PAINTED THE MURAL IN BRIGHT, VIBRANT COLORS.
BRENT BACHELDER, THE PROJECT COORDINATOR, GUIDED THEM ALONG THEIR PATH TO CREATE A PUBLIC WORK OF ART.
"THEY DID A GREAT JOB IN A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME", BACHELDER SAYS. "I'M IMPRESSED WITH THE AMOUNT OF HARD WORK ALL THE KIDS DID."
THE MURALS DEPICT THINGS THE YOUTHS WANTED TO SAY TO THE WORLD.
