Ongoing
r GRAFFITI MURAL PROJECT WITH LOCAL YOUTH
(Old Tr’ondek Hwech’in Youth Center, 2nd Avenue)
Ongoing mural creation during the Thursday night Gallery Hop &
Saturday (12-8), Sunday (12-5). Finishing vernissage Sunday 5pm.
This year the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in youth center finds itself boarded up and the youth
in temporary spaces. With the promise of a new facility in 2018, this project bids
farewell to the old and extends a warm welcome to the new. The creation of smooth
walls on the South and West sides of the old youth center located on second avenue
allow for a new image to be painted on the outside to commemorate the memories
created on the inside. A healing experience that acknowledges the end of one thing
and the beginning of another. The project seeks to engage the youth throughout the
weekend of the arts festival and community members are welcome to stop by and
chat or simply see the building transform over a matter of days.
