Groundswell brings together artists, youth, and community organizations to use art as a tool for social change.

Youth

Groundswell is a safe space for me as a teenager, it’s a place where you can express yourself with whatever it may be, it's your getaway. More about Kevin's story

Artists

For me, building imagination and sharing knowledge alongside a younger generation of artists is a great manifestation of the fruits of this shift. With this mural, we are also bringing intergenerational participation into a future that honors our past while actively creating a different path of existence.

Community

We can be more attentive to inequity and we have the power to address this problem directly. It is not always an easy thing to do, but the very good things in life never are easy. More about Odili's story
