Program Description
Bren's mural residencies are typically a week long. What makes his murals unique is that he takes the students' drawings and paints them on the wall. This way, the kids' illustrations become part of the school's history/legacy. Bren's revised mural residency is in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. Instead of meeting in person for the presentation and drawing session, Bren can meet with the students online, via Zoom or another similar app. After the session, the students can then send their illustrations for the mural project via email. Bren can then paint the mural in the school on his own. Bren's presentations are about his 17-year-long street art project. He has given away over 3,000 paintings with a note saying, "This painting is yours if you promise to smile at random people more often," in about 80 different countries and in all 50 states. Bren's presentation is an effective way to teach kids the power of kindness through art.
