AIS Murals
In 2022 Arts for All, The Learning Council and Elsewhere studios were awarded the Art in Society ___ Grant. We partnered youth from Delta, Cedaridge, Hotchkiss and Paonia with professional artists to create murals in Olathe and Paonia. Our student artists learned professional mural painting skills from their mentors and created outstanding murals in the process. Our mural in Olathe culminated with a community painting day, where community members added their handprints to the border of the mural, to further embed the image as a symbol of unity and beauty in Olathe.
The mural painted in Paonia became a place of honor for one of Paonia’s high school seniors, who tragically passed in a car accident. Eddie Carrillo’s family and friends joined our student and professional mural team, for a cathartic way to pay respect to this young person.
