“Youth artists from Arts Street will be on hand to assist with each mural and to guide participants in the creative process – all while promoting global peace! The Arts is a natural tool for team building. It provides a fresh and creative perspective to problem-solving. It’s been proven when we train youth for the future workforce, and it works for business people time and again”,
