Repainting the Mural is at the Denver Art Museum January 14th - 26th! Come to the Drawing Studio to see it! Leticia, Leo, and Hannah will be there both weekends to give you a tour, explain the art, ask you to share your opinions, and invite you to add a drawing to the mural!

Leticia explains the Native American legend of the The Wolves Within.
Legend has it an old grandfather said to his grandson. "A fight is going on inside of me", the grandfather explains. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, inferiority, and lies." He continued, "The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, compassion, empathy, generosity, truth, humility, kindness, and faith. This same fight is going on inside of you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought for a moment about the story and then asked: "Grandpa, who will win?"
The old man replied, "The one you feed."
