GMC 2021 Mural in Riverside

The 2021 Girls Mural Camp Mural focuses on what water means to humans and animals. When creating the design for the mural, we discussed the many ways water benefits our lives, and how we sometimes under-appreciate all that water gives us.

The Girls Mural Camp 2021 officially got underway in mid-August 2021 and wrapped up on August 27! Big thank you once again to lead artists, Bareket Kezwer and Monica Wickeler for leading the youth campers through this exciting mural program and to the participants who co-created such a unique and inspiring piece of mural art together.

Presented by East End Arts, Girls Mural Camp is a three-week summer program for youth between the ages of 14-18 who self-identify as young women, girls, female, or non-binary. Through a combination of in-class learning and at home practice, participants explore the history of street art, graffiti and murals, and develop their own individual artistic style. The camp culminates with the co-creation of a street mural!

Participants also had the opportunity to receive a paid mentorship as part of Women Paint Riverside, an exciting opportunity to work as an assistant to a female identifying street artist on a full size mural as part of an incredible “women in street art jam”!
