Leadership Training in Mural Making

After a successful pilot program in 2011, Leadership Training in Mural Making returned from May - August 2012, providing training
opportunities for emerging youth artists.

This certificate course gave students first hand experience with professional artists and managers familiar with the industry. By providing the training and skills needed, youth artists were able to prepare themselves, build networks and gain confidence for the workforce.
