County Graffiti Mural Project 2009
The
Weld County Graffiti Mural Project was a community wide collaborative
effort to bring juvenile drug awareness to the forefront by using the
theme: "Drugs Destroy Families."
Three teams of area youth created positive, anti-substance abuse murals in different locations around town using their own experiences, unique talents, and a lot of spray paint! The participants ranged from 6yrs old to almost 20 and all worked together to create their masterpieces in very different environments. Each mural takes on a different view of the theme and brought a lot of discussion as to what substance abuse does to the family and what it had possibly already done to their families.
The murals were finished
in early November and a Celebration potluck dinner was held on November
18th. We had over 50 individuals attend the potluck including
the youth participants and their families, team leaders,
and community members. Everyone enjoyed the debut
of the Graffiti Mural Project Video (below) and everyone was
eager to cheer on the youth participants as they received their
t-shirts, DVDs, and gift certificates.
