Review for Groundswell Community Mural Project, Brooklyn, NY, USA
Ther was was a time not so long ago when the neighborhood i live in was not such a good place to raise three little girls. so in my mind i imaed that ther would be a place that could go when I was at work/school where my children can be safe. so while speaking to a co-worker of mine about this delima. i said you know my daughter has been drawing for years ans she is good at it, and she has always asked me to buy her paint sets,markers colored crayons it would be wonderful if there were an art studio that she could go to after school to so that she could work on her talent. My co-worker said there is such a place and it called groundswell mural. she gave me the telphone number and my daughter and i went to visit. we met some staff the director and my daughter and nephew became student. it is and has been a great place to for my daught they taughter her somuch more than art. she worked with groups of people from different back grounds, met adults who really cared about her and provided a safe place for her and her friends to go. since then my daughter had gone away to college and is still pursueing her college degree in fine arts, she has become a tattoo arts. As for me groundswell has educated med on the world of arts i had the pleasure of participating in the 2008, Gala event which was a wonderful experience and was introduced to another part of a culture that i didn't know exited. I just want to say if you or anyone you know is interested in art, community, bridging gaps and family connection groundswell has it to offer and more, education employment safty and you get to met some awesome people. so my hat goes of to those who make grouswell great!.
