The Mural Goes to the Denver Art Museum (Weekend One)


Today was the first weekend that people could come and add to the mural at the Drawing Studio. Leticia, Leo, and I stayed there for several hours this Saturday giving people tours, answering questions, asking them to share their reactions, and inviting them to participate.

The finished mural will be more than three times as large as this. 


Remember the panel at Earthlinks? Here it is after a bit more work on it! 




There was a special "Kids' Corner" where young visitors could add flowers of hope to the mural!
