violence. After knowing studies like America After 3 PM show that 14.3 million children in America take care of themselves after school, Cooley finds the need for kids in low income area to have a place that is safe to be creative and share their story.

Activities 16
During the Graffiti Zone Event, the young artist will have a
chance to freelance and free style their art by painting on a large wall of paper. The paintings that each artist will paint on the wall of paper will be based off a question. What does art mean to you? Each artist will paint what art means in their mind and what an positive impact it has been to them. The collage of paintings will be put on the walls of the school so peers can have a chance to see it and be inspired! The painting will also be featured on the Graffiti Zone website. During the event artist will receive a gift bag that includes, a tshirt that say “Graffiti Rocks”, markers, and a $5 gift card to Blick.
