BLACK HISTORY MONTH LOCAL SIP & PAINTS

This year, to celebrate our history we hosted a Sip & Paint series at select schools in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Working with pre-selected schools, Community Outreach commissioned local artists to teach the youth how to create their very own painted canvas. Videos of the Sip & Paint series were shared on all DTLR social platforms.

Dare To Live Right aims to revitalize schools’ declining art programs, as well as highlighting local Black artists for awareness and inspiration.

“Art has always been a way of expression within the Black community,” said DTLR Community Outreach Director, Tremayne Lipscomb Sr. “This year, we continued the Dare To Create mission, which was designed to inspire and highlight art within our communities, and to bring awareness to the significance of the year 1865 for the African American community.”

The joy of the students was overwhelmingly contagious at all four of the schools we attended. We are eager to grow this initiative to more cities, schools, and students.
