With support from the California Arts Council, Stronger Together Now will provide a year-long series of monthly street art and graffiti workshops for youth, aimed at promoting creative expression, community pride, and mentorship through public art. The initiative known as “Voices on the Wall” program will engage youth in 2-3 hours sessions, in a safe, structured environment where they can explore their creativity, learn from Arturo Orellana, aka SauceyPasta, as a professional artist, and contribute to beautifying public spaces in downtown San Bernardino. Voices on the Wall offers a positive alternative to vandalism and unstructured afterschool time, reducing risk of negative behavior. Components include art history and cultural roots, sketching and typography, color theory and spray paint techniques, legal art vs. vandalism, design & execution, as well as community showcases.
